Flowing Liquid Test Cell – Sphere

Advanced Electrochemical Testing Solution

The FLC is a state-of-the-art setup developed to explore electrochemical reactions in flowing electrolytes across a range of different environments. With the FLC, researchers can conduct electrochemical tests on a variety of sample substrates (including metallic, porous, and transparent materials) under the same conditions of electrode distance, positioning, and electrolyte flow.

Key Features

This allows for a direct comparison of the data obtained from different substrates, providing valuable insights into the underlying electrochemical processes. The setup has been designed for easy assembly, allowing for quick exchange of samples and enhancing experimental throughput.

Optimized Performance

It features an optimized electrolyte flow, with inlets located at the bottom of each compartment and outlets at the top, effectively removing gas products from the cell and preventing the electrochemical reactions from being compromised due to bubble retention between the electrodes.

Versatile Applications

It is also compatible with zero-gap tests and it includes connections to reference electrodes in both sample compartments, offering a convenient connection to an external pump or characterization tool for coupled experiments. The FLC supports multiple substrate types, optimized electrolyte flow, and is adapted to multiple membrane geometries.
