How to Choose the Reference Electrode?

According to the test requirements, you can use the following content as a reference for selecting reference electrode.

Different research systems can choose different reference electrodes:
Neutral system: saturated calomel electrode or Ag/AgCl reference electrode
Alkaline system: Hg/HgO reference electrode
Acidic system: Hg/Hg2SO4 reference electrode
Non-aqueous system: Non aqueous Ag+ reference electrode

Compared with other reference electrodes, Ag/AgCl reference electrode is more sensitive to light.At the same time, the silver chloride electrode is also less affected by temperature than other types of reference electrode.

If you choose calomel electrode, Hg2/HgSO4 electrode or Hg/HgO electrode, you can add a salt bridge under the electrode to protect the reference electrode and minimize the potential affected by temperature.

Mercury Oxide Reference Electrode Hg/HgO PTFE Rod 6 * 60 mm is a good choice for the Alkaline system.

H-Type In-Situ Raman Spectroscopy Cell With Double Light Window 30ml

In-situ Raman spectroscopy electrochemical cell is designed and manufactured for studying the in-situ spectra and morphology changes of electrode materials in electrochemical experiments. The working electrode is placed directly under the see-through window, so that the optical instrument can detect the working electrode from the quartz light window above the cell body. Commonly used instruments include optical microscopes, infrared microscopes, X-ray spectrometers, confocal Raman spectrometers, etc. According to different experimental test requirements, the in-situ Raman spectroscopy electrochemical cell is divided into four types: Single cell body with single light window type Single cell body with double light window type H type double cell body with single side light window type H type double cell body with double side light window type H-type double cell body with double-side light window type is an in-situ Raman characterization cell in which the working electrode and the c...

What is the CO2RR Gas Diffusion Flow Cell?

The CO2RR Gas Diffusion Flow Cell (CO2RR GDFC) is a type of electrochemical cell used in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to other chemicals through a process called the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). It is similar in design to the Gas Diffusion Flow Cell (GDFC) used to measure gas permeability, but it is specifically designed to facilitate the electrochemical reduction of CO2. The CO2RR GDFC consists of a small, sealed chamber with two compartments separated by a thin, gas-permeable membrane. One compartment is filled with a CO2-containing gas mixture, while the other compartment contains an electrolyte solution and a catalyst material, such as copper or silver, which facilitates the CO2RR. The two compartments are separated by the gas-permeable membrane, which allows CO2 to diffuse from the high concentration compartment to the low concentration compartment. The CO2RR is driven by an electric potential applied across the two compartments, which induces the reduction of CO2 int...
