Photoelectrochemical Cell (Quartz)

Photoelectrochemical Cell (Quartz)

Overview

• The Quartz Photoelectrochemical Cell is a high-performance cell designed for advanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) and photocatalytic research where maximum optical transparency and chemical purity are critical.
• Manufactured using a full-quartz melting method, this cell ensures unmatched light permeability from all four sides, making it ideal for studies involving multi-directional illumination, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and photoelectrode characterisation.
• The PTFE cap provides chemical resistance, mechanical stability, and easy integration with electrode fittings, ensuring a secure, leak-free interface for demanding electrochemical and photoelectrochemical applications.

Key Features

• Full-quartz construction: Manufactured through precision quartz melting for superior light transmission and high chemical purity.
• Four-sided optical transparency: Allows efficient illumination from multiple directions for enhanced photocatalytic efficiency.
• PTFE cap assembly: Ensures a tight, corrosion-resistant seal and compatibility with standard electrode holders and fittings.
• Highly stable under UV–Vis exposure: Maintains clarity and mechanical strength under high-intensity light sources.
• Excellent chemical durability: Ideal for both acidic and basic electrolyte environments.
• Precision-ground flat surfaces: Minimise reflection and enable stable optical alignment with spectroscopic or PEC systems.
