C014 All-Quartz Photoelectrochemical Cell

Product Introduction

The C014 All-Quartz Photoelectrochemical Cell is designed for photoelectrochemical experiments and laboratory electrochemical research requiring high optical transparency. Its quartz cell body is manufactured using quartz fusion welding rather than adhesive bonding, providing a transparent structure with light transmittance above 95%.

The cell features a PTFE cover and an open-system design. It can also be equipped with gas inlet and outlet components for experiments involving gas introduction or removal. Electrodes are purchased separately, allowing users to select suitable reference, counter, and working electrodes according to their experimental requirements.

A PTFE base protects the bottom quartz optical window from abrasion during placement and handling.

Performance Features

•  High optical transmittance: Quartz construction provides light transmittance above 95%.

•  Quartz fusion-welded body: The cell body is joined by quartz melting, without adhesive bonding.

• PTFE cover: Provides a practical cover for laboratory electrochemical experiments.

•  Optional gas connections: Gas inlet and outlet devices can be configured according to experimental needs.

•  Flexible electrode selection: Electrodes are purchased separately, allowing configuration based on the application.

•  Customizable electrode dimensions: Platinum plate or other plate electrode dimensions can be adjusted to meet working requirements.

•  Protective PTFE base: Helps prevent abrasion of the bottom quartz optical window.

•  Open-system configuration: Suitable for experiments that do not require a sealed cell.

Working Principle

The C014 provides a transparent quartz environment for electrochemical experiments involving optical observation or light irradiation. Light passes through the quartz cell body and interacts with the electrode-electrolyte system, enabling researchers to investigate electrochemical responses under illumination.

Reference, counter, and working electrodes are selected separately and installed according to the experimental setup. When required, optional gas inlet and outlet components allow gas to be introduced into or removed from the cell during testing.

Technical Parameters

Application Scenarios

• Photoelectrochemical research: Investigating electrochemical behavior under light irradiation.

•  Electrode material evaluation: Testing platinum and other plate-type working electrodes.

•  Gas-involved electrochemical experiments: Applications requiring optional gas inlet and outlet connections.

• Optical electrochemical measurements: Experiments requiring high-transmittance quartz construction.

•  Laboratory electrochemistry: Research setups requiring flexible electrode selection and an open cell structure.
