Graphite rod counter electrode Series – Purity 99.99% | ATOMFAIR

RESEARCH GRADE INSTRUMENT

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR® Graphite Rod Counter Electrode offers a cost-effective, chemically inert alternative to noble metal counter electrodes for routine electrochemical measurements. The electrode features a high-density graphite rod with a diameter of 6mm and two available exposed lengths: 75mm or 100mm. The graphite active region provides a large surface area with excellent electrical conductivity and broad electrochemical stability. The electrode is encased in a PTFE jacket that defines the exposed graphite region and protects the electrical connection. This design is particularly suitable for bulk electrolysis, large-scale cells, and applications where high currents are required but noble metal contamination must be avoided.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Large Active Surface Area: The 6mm diameter rod with extended length options (75mm or 100mm) offers substantial surface area for high current capacity and stable operation.
  • Cost-Effective Alternative: Graphite provides excellent counter electrode performance at a fraction of the cost of platinum or gold electrodes, ideal for high-throughput or routine applications.
  • Wide Electrochemical Stability: Graphite exhibits a broad potential window and good stability in many aqueous and non-aqueous electrolyte systems.
  • Low Background Current: High-density graphite minimizes leaching and contamination, maintaining low background currents during sensitive measurements.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Healthcare, Environmental Monitoring, Chemical Engineering, Bio-industry, and Advanced Energy Systems.
PACKAGING: Secure individual research-grade protective containers with shock-absorption parameters.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This product is highly sensitive to surface contamination. Keep containers tightly sealed or handle exclusively within an anhydrous inert environment to prevent phase contamination or degradation before electrochemical validation.

This graphite rod counter electrode requires strict contamination control to maintain electrochemical performance. Storage in sealed containers and handling under anhydrous inert atmosphere are mandatory.

  • Surface Contamination Sensitivity: The graphite rod surface is highly susceptible to contamination, which can increase background currents and affect measurement accuracy.
  • Storage Requirements: Containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent exposure to ambient moisture and airborne contaminants.
  • Handling Environment: All handling must be performed within an anhydrous inert environment, such as a glovebox, to prevent degradation before use.

What is the maximum current capacity of the ATOMFAIR Graphite Rod Counter Electrode with 75mm or 100mm exposed length?

The source does not specify a maximum current rating, but the 6mm diameter graphite rod with 99.99% purity and high-density construction provides a large active surface area suitable for high-current applications such as bulk electrolysis. The 75mm and 100mm exposed length options offer substantial surface area for stable operation, though exact current limits depend on electrolyte conductivity and experimental conditions.

Can the ATOMFAIR Graphite Rod Counter Electrode be used in non-aqueous electrolytes without contamination?

Yes, the graphite rod exhibits broad electrochemical stability in both aqueous and non-aqueous electrolyte systems, as stated in the product description. The high-density graphite minimizes leaching and contamination, maintaining low background currents during sensitive measurements. However, the product is highly sensitive to surface contamination, so it must be handled in an anhydrous inert environment to prevent degradation before use.

What are the handling and storage requirements for the ATOMFAIR Graphite Rod Counter Electrode to prevent surface contamination?

The product is highly sensitive to surface contamination, so containers must be kept tightly sealed or the electrode handled exclusively within an anhydrous inert environment to prevent phase contamination or degradation before electrochemical validation. The PTFE jacket protects the electrical connection and defines the exposed graphite region, but the graphite active area requires careful handling to maintain low background currents and stable performance.

The ATOMFAIR Graphite Rod Counter Electrode (99.99% purity, 6mm diameter) is available in 75mm and 100mm exposed lengths, offering a large surface area and PTFE insulation for electrochemical measurements. The electrode requires careful handling to avoid surface contamination, including storage in sealed containers or inert environments.

Positive

  • Large Active Surface Area: The 6mm diameter rod with 75mm or 100mm exposed length provides substantial surface area for high current capacity and stable operation in bulk electrolysis.
  • Available Exposed Length Options: The 75mm and 100mm exposed length options allow adaptation to different cell geometries without custom fabrication.

Trade-offs

  • Surface Contamination Sensitivity: The graphite rod is highly sensitive to surface contamination; containers must be kept tightly sealed or handled exclusively in an anhydrous inert environment to prevent degradation before use.
