Photoelectrochemical Cell – Unsealed Type

Photoelectrochemical Cell – Unsealed Type

Overview

• The Photoelectrochemical Cell – Unsealed is a versatile glass PEC cell designed for light-driven electrochemical research and semiconductor electrode characterisation.
• Constructed with high-transparency quartz windows (Ø 24 mm) and a robust glass body, this open cell configuration allows direct access for electrode positioning, optical alignment, and rapid sample exchange.
• Its simplicity, chemical resistance, and easy disassembly make it a reliable choice for laboratories conducting photoelectrocatalysis, hydrogen evolution, and thin-film testing under ambient conditions.

Key Features

• Corrosion-resistant and durable: Fabricated from chemically inert glass with a precision-polished quartz window for superior light transmission.
• Open and accessible design: Ideal for custom setups where electrode manipulation and solution changes are required.
• Replaceable quartz window: Enables simple cleaning or replacement, maintaining long-term optical clarity.
• Supports various electrode configurations: Compatible with L-shaped working electrodes or standard electrode clamps for flexible experiment design.
• Simplified structure: Easy to assemble, clean, and maintain for repeated use in teaching or research environments.

Available Capacities

• 50 mL
• 100 mL
• 150 mL
