Product Description
Visual Gas–Solid Electrochemical Cell
Titanium Construction · Quartz Optical Window · Three-Layer Sandwich Architecture
Product Overview
The Visual Gas–Solid Electrochemical Cell (Titanium Version) is a research-grade, optically accessible electrochemical reactor designed for gas–solid and gas–solid–liquid interfacial studies. The cell adopts a three-layer sandwich architecture that enables the construction of a stable gas–solid reaction interface, allowing experiments to be conducted using solid or polymer electrolytes as an alternative to conventional liquid electrolytes.
By eliminating free-flowing electrolyte in the reaction zone, the system prevents the introduction of extraneous anions and cations, making it particularly suitable for the preparation and study of high-purity liquid products and ion-sensitive electrochemical processes.
A high-transmittance quartz optical window provides direct visual access to the working electrode surface, enabling real-time optical observation, illumination, or spectroscopic coupling during operation.
Core Design Philosophy
Three-Layer Sandwich Structure
The reactor is built around a precision-machined sandwich configuration:
1.Front Bipolar Plate (Titanium)
•Provides mechanical support and electrical conductivity
•Integrates flow channels for gas or reactant delivery
2.Hollow Intermediate Layer (PEEK)
•Defines the reaction chamber volume
•Electrically insulating and chemically resistant
•Supports solid electrolyte or membrane integration
3.Rear Bipolar Plate (Titanium)
•Completes the current path
•Ensures uniform compression and sealing
This architecture allows precise control of reaction geometry, interface pressure, and mass transport, closely resembling practical gas–solid electrochemical devices.
Visualized Reaction Interface
•Quartz optical window with high transmittance enables:
Direct observation of the working electrode surface
In-situ optical monitoring of reaction dynamics
Optional external illumination for photo-electrochemical coupling
•Alignment with cameras, microscopes, or optical probes
The visualization capability makes this cell ideal for mechanistic studies, rather than black-box electrochemical testing.
