Straight Five-Port Electrolytic Cell 10-1000mL ATOMFAIR®

This electrolytic cell requires absolute sealing integrity for oxygen- and moisture-sensitive experiments, with internal electrode jacks on the lid providing complete internal electrode integration. Pressure capability up to 0.5MPa is limited to round-bottom designs, and vacuum operation below -100kPa is supported with proper seal verification.

• Electrode Compatibility Constraint: Only factory-matched electrode sets are compatible with this cell model, and only Ag/AgCl reference electrodes are supported without salt bridges, sintered frits, or Luggin capillaries.
• Gas Management Requirement: Built-in valves and sparger enable inert gas purging and atmosphere control, which must be used for gas-sensitive electrochemical experiments.

This procedure ensures safe setup and deployment of the cell for air-sensitive three-electrode measurements under inert atmosphere. Steps focus on seal integrity verification, electrode installation, and purging protocol prior to electrochemical testing.

Required Equipment: Factory-matched three-electrode set, Inert gas supply (e.g., argon or nitrogen), Vacuum pump capable of below -100kPa

1. Inspect cell and seals
   Inspect the high-borosilicate glass body and all port seals for cracks or damage before assembly.
2. Install matched electrodes
   Insert the factory-matched three-electrode set into the lid jacks and verify each connection is fully seated to maintain absolute sealing.
3. Connect gas and vacuum lines
   Connect the inert gas supply to the sparger inlet and attach a vacuum line to the valve port for atmosphere control.
4. Purge the cell atmosphere
   Evacuate the cell to below -100kPa using the vacuum pump, then backfill with inert gas to remove oxygen and moisture.
5. Set operating pressure
   Confirm the round-bottom design is used for pressurization, then adjust internal pressure up to 0.5MPa if needed for the experiment.
6. Fill with electrolyte
   Transfer the electrolyte into the cell through a port while maintaining inert gas flow to prevent atmospheric contamination.
7. Begin electrochemical measurement
   Start the electrochemical experiment only after verifying seal integrity and stable inert atmosphere conditions.

This single-layer, absolutely sealed five-port electrolytic cell provides vacuum and pressure capability for air-sensitive electrochemistry, but requires factory-matched electrodes and only supports Ag/AgCl reference electrodes.

Positive

• Absolute sealing integrity: Internal electrode jacks on the lid provide complete sealing, ideal for oxygen- and moisture-sensitive experiments.
• Vacuum and pressure capability: Supports vacuum below -100 kPa and pressurization up to 0.5 MPa (round-bottom design required for pressure).

Trade-offs

• Reference electrode limitation: Only Ag/AgCl reference electrodes are compatible; salt bridges, sintered frits, and Luggin capillaries are not supported.
• Pressure design constraint: Pressurization above ambient requires a round-bottom cell design; flat-bottom variants cannot be pressurized.
