CNB-12-EC-MOD
Modular In-situ Electrochemical Cell Model: EC-MOD
EC-MOD Modular In-situ Electrochemical Cell
A modular, multifunctional flow cell for in-situ UV, Raman, IR, XAFS, and XRD studies under controlled electrochemical conditions.
Product Overview
The EC-MOD is a modular flow-through electrochemical cell designed to couple three-electrode control with in-situ spectroscopy and diffraction. Interchangeable optical and X-ray window assemblies configure the same base cell for Raman, UV, IR, XAFS, or XRD measurements. Standard plate-electrode, and gas-diffusion configurations support liquid-phase interfacial studies, spectroelectrochemical analysis, and gas-fed electrocatalytic reactions.
Key Features
• Multi-technique Window Platform
Interchangeable quartz, sapphire, CaF₂, Kapton-film and beryllium windows configure the cell for different in-situ analytical methods.
• Dual Working Electrode Configurations
Standard plate-electrode and gas-diffusion assemblies support conventional liquid-phase studies and gas-fed electrocatalysis.
• Flow-Through Electrolyte Circulation
Dedicated inlet and outlet ports support external electrolyte circulation and controlled flow during electrochemical measurements.
