Spectroelectrochemical cell (0.5 mm optical path length)

 

                            Thin Layer Quartz Glass Spectroelectrochemical cell Kit

The 0.5 mm optical path length version SEC-C Thin Layer Quartz Glass Spectroelectrochemical cell Kit is the new option for your spectroelectrochemical measurement.
The advantage of this new optical path length cell is that, with a 0.5 mm optical path length, you could reduce the electrolysis time, compared with the time necessary when you carried the electrolysis reaction with 1.0 mm optical path length quartz cell.

 

                              Quartz cell                                                   Pt working electrode

At the left, 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm optical path length quartz cell are shown.
At the right, Pt working electrode with the dimension is shown. For 0.5, as for 1.0 mm, you could select the working electrode (Pt or Au) appropriate for your research purpose.

Note: There is a specific working electrode for 0.5 mm optical path length. The working electrode for 1.0 mm optical path length can not be used in 0.5 mm optical path length quartz cell.
 

Comparison of electrolytic speed in function of optical path length

2 mM potassium ferrocyanide (K₃[Fe(CN)₆]) was subjected an electrolysis reaction at 0.6 V until its stability, 1 M KNO₃ was used as a reference. The oxidation reaction was monitored by the comparison of the absorbance in function of the time at wavelengths of 420 and 300 nm.
