The High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell is a sophisticated apparatus engineered to facilitate advanced research in electrochemistry under elevated pressure and temperature conditions. The cell is capable of withstanding pressures up to 25 bar and temperatures up to 200 ⁰C, allowing researchers to investigate electrochemical processes under hydrothermal conditions or using a hot pressurized environment for organic solvents as reaction media. It is a single-compartment cell that accommodates various electrode setups, including standard 2- or 3-electrode configurations and custom arrangements tailored to specific experimental requirements. The cell is designed to accommodate various electrodes and sample types, including solids, liquids, and gases, enabling comprehensive studies across different material systems.
The cell is constructed from high-quality materials such as Stainless Steel 316L (outer body), PEEK (liner), and FFKM elastomer (O-rings), ensuring robustness and reliability even under harsh experimental conditions. Cell material system is compatible with the following material systems: aqueous electrolytes in a full pH range, organic solvents (sulfoxides, amides, ethers, alcohols, aromatic), organic and inorganic salts (including fluorinated anions, ammonium), gases (N₂, Ar, H₂) – PEEK, FFKM O-Rings The cell is equipped with three 6 mm dia. electrode ports, two 1/4 in. OD tube gas/liquid inlet/outlet, and assembly of a manometer and safety relief valve (25 bar) mounted on the cooling tower. Additionally, there is a 1/8 in. OD port for a temperature probe inside the PEEK liner. The cell is compatible with the high-pressure working electrode, high-pressure counter electrode, and high-pressure reference electrode. Unused elelctrde ports can be terminated with high-pressure plug.

Application note
Catalysis plays a pivotal role in various industrial processes, from petroleum refining to pharmaceutical synthesis. Understanding catalytic mechanisms under realistic conditions is crucial for optimizing catalyst performance and developing efficient processes. The High Pressure Electrochemical Cell offers a sophisticated platform for studying catalytic reactions under elevated pressure and electrochemical environments simultaneously. The cell is typically used to investigate the effect of pressure on electrochemical kinetics and mechanisms, study the electrochemical behavior of materials under high-pressure conditions for applications in energy storage, catalysis, and corrosion, and explore novel electrode materials and electrolyte systems tailored for high-pressure electrochemical devices.
Electrodes are not included in the cell and should be added to the quotation separately.

Safety note
The use of a High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell involves working with equipment capable of withstanding elevated pressures and conducting experiments with potentially reactive chemicals. Ensuring safety during operation is paramount to prevent accidents and protect personnel and equipment. Below are key safety considerations to observe when using the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell:

1. Prior to operation, all personnel involved should receive comprehensive training on the setup, operation, and safety protocols associated with the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell. Only trained individuals familiar with the equipment should be permitted to operate it.

2. Adhere strictly to the specified pressure limitations of the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell. Do not exceed the recommended pressure range to prevent over-pressurization, which could lead to equipment failure and potential hazards.

3. Ensure that all materials, including electrodes, seals, and electrolytes, are compatible with the pressure and chemical environment inside the cell. Incompatibilities could result in leaks, corrosion, or other safety hazards.

4. Verify that the pressure relief mechanism is in place and functioning correctly. This mechanism is crucial for safely releasing excess pressure in the event of over-pressurization.

5. Regularly inspect the seals and connections of the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Replace any compromised components promptly to maintain sealing integrity and prevent pressure-related accidents.

6. Establish clear emergency procedures, including evacuation routes and protocols for handling pressure-related incidents. Ensure that all personnel are aware of these procedures and know how to respond effectively in case of emergencies.

7. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, gloves, and lab coats, when operating the High Pressure Electrochemical Cell. Additional PPE may be necessary depending on the specific experimental conditions and hazards involved.

8. Supervise experiments closely and monitor the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell continuously during operation. Respond promptly to any abnormalities or unexpected changes in pressure or performance.

By adhering to these safety guidelines and exercising caution and diligence, users can minimize risks and ensure the safe and effective operation of the High-Pressure Electrochemical Cell in the laboratory. Always prioritize safety to protect yourself, your colleagues, and the integrity of the experimental setup.
