Small-Volume Single-Window Replaceable-Membrane Photoelectrochemical Cell, Sampling Port, Single Layer | ATOMFAIR

Product Type: Electrochemical cell

Research-grade laboratory product

Product Overview

The ATOMFAIR® Single Layer Small-Volume Single-Window Replaceable-Membrane Photoelectrochemical Cell with Sampling Port features a high-borosilicate glass body with a quartz window offering light transmittance greater than 95%. The quartz window is connected to the cell body via a locking ring assembly, ensuring reliable sealing while allowing quick and convenient replacement of the quartz window. The cell is designed for three-electrode systems with a single-compartment volume of 10mL. The cathode and anode chambers are isolated by an ion-exchange membrane (user-supplied), with chain-sealed connections facilitating easy membrane replacement. The working electrode and reference electrode are positioned in the same compartment to effectively reduce uncompensated resistance (iR drop). Electrode seals are achieved via compression fittings with O-rings. The cell body features an elevated floor design that effectively eliminates solution hiding effects. An integrated sampling port enables convenient sample extraction during experiments without disturbing the system. Extended-length electrodes are required and must be ordered separately. Please note: this cell does not offer a double-layer temperature-controlled version.

This photoelectrochemical cell requires careful handling of the quartz window to prevent scratches and ensure proper sealing. The cell must be used with extended-length electrodes and a user-supplied ion-exchange membrane compatible with the electrolyte.

Quartz window handling: Handle the quartz window with care to avoid scratches and ensure optical clarity.
Thermal shock avoidance: Avoid thermal shock to the high-borosilicate glass body and quartz window.
Membrane compatibility: Verify the ion-exchange membrane compatibility with the electrolyte before use.
Seal inspection: Inspect all O-ring seals and compression fittings before assembly to prevent leakage.
Electrode requirement: Use extended-length electrodes (not included) for proper fit in the compression fittings.

FAQ

How does the elevated floor design and co-location of working and reference electrodes affect uncompensated resistance in this photoelectrochemical cell?

The elevated floor design eliminates solution hiding effects, and positioning the working and reference electrodes in the same compartment effectively reduces uncompensated resistance (iR drop). This ensures more accurate potential control and measurement in small-volume photoelectrochemical experiments.

What types of ion-exchange membranes can be used with this replaceable-membrane photoelectrochemical cell, and how is the membrane sealed?

The cell uses a user-supplied ion-exchange membrane, clamped between cathode and anode chambers via chain-sealed connections for quick replacement. Any standard ion-exchange membrane compatible with the electrolyte and experiment (e.g., Nafion for proton exchange) can be used. Seal integrity is maintained by O-ring compression on electrode seals and the chain-sealed connections.

What precautions are necessary when handling and assembling the quartz window for this photoelectrochemical cell to avoid damage and maintain optical performance?

Handle the quartz window with care to avoid scratches. Properly seal the locking ring assembly before use to maintain light transmittance >95% and prevent leaks. Avoid thermal shock to both the high-borosilicate glass body and the quartz window. Inspect O-ring seals before each assembly.

Assessment

This single-layer photoelectrochemical cell provides a 10 mL single-compartment volume with a high-transparency quartz window (>95% transmittance) and replaceable membrane via chain-sealed connections, designed for three-electrode systems requiring optical access and sampling capability. Key operational constraints include the need for extended-length electrodes and the absence of double-layer temperature control.

Positive

High-transparency quartz window: Quartz window with ≥95% light transmittance enables superior photoelectrochemical and spectroscopic measurements with minimal optical loss.
Quick-change window assembly: Locking ring assembly allows rapid replacement of the quartz window without compromising seal integrity, reducing downtime during experiments.

Trade-offs

Extended-length electrodes required: This cell requires extended-length electrodes, which are not included and must be ordered separately, adding to procurement and compatibility considerations.
No double-layer temperature control: This model does not offer a double-layer temperature-controlled version, limiting thermal management for temperature-sensitive experiments.
