The High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell is a sophisticated apparatus engineered to facilitate advanced research in electrochemistry under elevated pressure and temperature conditions. The cell is capable of withstanding pressures up to 25 bar and temperatures up to 200 °C, allowing researchers to investigate electrochemical processes under hydrothermal conditions or using a hot pressurized environment for organic solvents as reaction media.

It is a single-compartment cell that accommodates various electrode setups, including standard 2- or 3-electrode configurations and custom arrangements tailored to specific experimental requirements. The cell is designed to accommodate various electrodes and sample types, including solids, liquids, and gases.

The cell is constructed from high-quality materials such as Stainless Steel 316L (outer body), PEEK (liner), and FKM elastomer (O-rings). Cell material system is compatible with: aqueous electrolytes in a full pH range, organic solvents (sulfoxides, amides, ethers, alcohols, aromatic), organic and inorganic salts (including fluorinated anions, ammonium), gases (N2, Ar, H2).

The cell is equipped with three 6 mm dia. electrode ports, two 1/4 in. OD tube gas/liquid inlet/outlet, and an assembly of a manometer and safety relief valve (25 bar) mounted on the cooling tower. Additionally, there is a 1/8 in. OD port for a temperature probe inside the PEEK liner.

Application note

The cell is typically used to investigate the effect of pressure on electrochemical kinetics and mechanisms, study the electrochemical behavior of materials under high-pressure conditions for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and corrosion, and explore novel electrode materials and electrolyte systems tailored for high-pressure electrochemical devices. Electrodes are not included and should be added to the quotation separately.

Safety note

The use of a High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell involves working with equipment capable of withstanding elevated pressures and conducting experiments with potentially reactive chemicals. Ensuring safety during operation is paramount. All personnel involved should receive comprehensive training. Adhere strictly to the specified pressure limitations. Verify that the pressure relief mechanism is in place and functioning correctly. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when operating this cell.
