Electrosynthesis cell (2-channel architecture) with polymer flow frames and interchangeable electrode configurations.
Electrosynthesis cell (2-channel architecture) with polymer flow frames and interchangeable electrode configurations. Anode options include nickel sheets, nickel foam, Ir-MMO-coated titanium sheets, and Ir-MMO-coated expanded titanium mesh. Cathode options include nickel sheets, nickel foam, platinum-coated titanium sheets, and platinum-coated expanded titanium mesh. Additional electrode materials and configurations are available upon request.
Dimension of active area: 5 cm² (square). Cell architecture: 2 channels (L|L)* The cell includes two stainless steel end plates equipped with 4 PP fluid connectors, compatible with 6 mm x 4 mm (OD x ID) tubing (alternative connector materials and diameters are available on request).² The current collectors are equipped with 4 mm banana sockets for currents up to 25 A. For higher currents, use an M4 bolted connection with a suitably rated cable lug and cable cross-section.
Included parts in this configuration: - 1x Anodic current collector - M (flow field: none| material: Ti) - 1x Cathodic current collector - M (flow field: none| material: stainless steel) - 2x Electrode frame - M (thickness: 500 μm| material: PTFE) - 2x Flow frame - M (thickness: 2 mm| flow field: spacer) - 1x Membrane frame - M (thickness: 100 μm| material: PTFE)
Alternative Components: - Current collectors: Other materials/coatings (Ni, C, Ti, Pt, Au...), optional flow field (serpentine/parallel channel…) - Electrode frames: alternative thicknesses/materials possible - Flow Frames: with/without spacer (mesh, 3D,…), different thicknesses - Membrane frame: different thicknesses/materials
Optional Components: Electrodes, substrates, porous transport layers (PTL), gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) available on request.
Do you want to provide additional information or make changes to this configuration? Feel free to add your comment during the quotation request.
* Fluid connector options: The standard PP fittings are suitable for operating
temperatures up to 80 °C and a pH range of 0–14, except for concentrated
oxidizing acids. For more demanding thermal or chemical conditions,
stainless-steel, PTFE, and PFA fittings are available upon request. Please
note, the stainless-steel and PFA fittings use cutting rings that remain
permanently attached to the tubing once tightened.
**Frame thickness: The
thickness of the membrane frame should be equal or slightly thinner than the
membrane. The electrode frame thickness should correspond to the thickness of the
electrode or PTL. For compressible materials like carbon paper or metal felt
please consider also the intended compression. For example, a 250µm carbon
paper compressed by 20% requires a 200µm electrode frame.
