H-Cell

H‑Cell Electrochemical Reactors

Introduction
An H‑Cell is a dual‑compartment electrochemical reactor designed to keep anodic and cathodic processes isolated, typically via an ion‑exchange membrane. Its H‑shaped structure enables separate environments while permitting ionic conduction, making it essential for electrochemical characterisation, membrane testing, selective redox reactions, permeability studies, and photoelectrochemical research.

H-Cell options

• PTFE H Type Membrane Electrolytic Cell
• Jacketed H-type Membrane Cell
• H-type Membrane Cell, unsealed

Key Features & Specifications

• Dual chambers ranging from 20 mL to 1000 mL per compartment; customizable volumes
• Compatible with standard three‑electrode setups: working, counter, reference electrodes
• Membrane interface: user‑supplied ion‑exchange membranes, replaceable designs available
• Optically accessible variants: quartz windows for photoelectrochemical tests
• Temperature control options: jacketed or water‑bath designs for thermal regulation
• Sealing: sealed models with O‑ring and screw caps ensure gas‑tight operation
  
  

Applications

• Membrane testing, ion selectivity, resistance and crossover measurement
• H₂, CO₂, N₂ reduction studies (CO₂RR, NRR) and HER/OER catalytic research
• Photoelectrochemical processes: solar water‑splitting, photo‑driven synthesis
• Fuel cell reactions, general dual‑electrode catalysis, sensor development
  
  

Material Options

• PTFE (Teflon): offers chemical inertness and replaceable membrane designs
• Glass, jacketed: borosilicate glass construction with thermal jacket for temperature‑controlled experiments
• Sealed/unsealed variants: sealed models prevent gas exchange; unsealed models provide open access (e.g., for rapid sampling)

FAQs

1. What volumes are available?
   Standard dual‑chamber capacities from 20 mL up to 250 mL per cell; custom sizes available.

2. Do H‑Cells support optical measurements?
   Yes—photoelectrochemical models include quartz windows for light penetration.

3. Can I control temperature?
   Jacketed and water‑bath variants allow precise thermal regulation during experiments.

4. Are membranes included?
   Membranes must be provided by the user; models support easy replacement.

5. How do sealed vs unsealed designs differ?
   Sealed H‑Cells provide gas‑tight operations; unsealed versions allow open exchange and easier access.
