This is a horizontally mounted, single compartment photo-electrochemical cell for measurements of materials based on 15x15 mm² samples. It allows 2- or 3-electrode setups and is designed to investigate performance of 2D materials and thin film photo-anodes such as monolayer graphene. The cathode (counter electrode) and reference electrode are mounted in a top casing. Cell elements are made of PEEK. Compatible with aqueous and organic solvent electrolyte requirements. The construction is gas-tight with gas inlet and outlet for bubbling the solution and evacuating gases.

Application note The sample is installed in the classical screw mount, facing the cell chamber. In 2-electrode setup, the counter electrode is placed in the socket close to the working electrode while the remaining socket is plugged. In 3-electrode setup, the reference electrode is placed close to the measured sample to limit the effect of electrolyte resistance, while the counter electrode occupies the remaining socket. Various auxiliary electrodes are suitable including metal wire, gauze and foil electrodes as well as non-metal electrodes. Typical applications include: basic photochemistry, photolytic water splitting, photoinduced charge separation and photocorrosion.
