Description

This is a horizontally mounted, double compartment, screw mount photo-electrochemical H-Cell designed to simultaneously investigate thin film photo-anodes and (photo)cathodes.

The cell elements are made of PEEK. It well fits aqueous (EPDM/FKM O-Rings) and organic solvent (FFKM O-Rings) electrolyte requirements. The construction is gas-tight having two separate chambers, each equipped with gas inlet and outlet. This allows bubbling the solution and evacuating gases. Chambers are separated with an ion-exchange membrane (e.g. Nafion membrane), so the electrochemical products appearing at photo-anode and (photo)cathode do not affect the opposite electrode.

Application note

This cell allows several approaches to perform measurements in 2- or 3-electrode setups. It is designed to investigate performance of a thin film photo-anode (e.g. nanocrystalline material or conducting polymer) deposited on a rigid or flexible transparent substrate (typically fused quartz glass).
