In Situ UV–Vis Spectroelectrochemical Cell, Model: EC-UV2

Description

Product Overview

The EC-UV2 is an H-type, two-chamber spectroelectrochemical cell designed for in situ UV–Vis measurements under electrochemical control. Its replaceable membrane separates the electrode compartments, while gas inlet/outlet access to the working compartment supports controlled gas introduction. The sapphire optical window and transparent conductive working electrode enable potential-dependent UV–Vis monitoring of redox processes, reaction intermediates, and electroactive interfaces.

Key Features

• Membrane-Separated H-Type Design: A replaceable membrane separates the working and counter electrode compartments for independent reaction environments.
• Gas Access to Working Compartment: Integrated gas inlet/outlet access supports controlled gas introduction during in situ electrochemical measurements.
• Potential-Controlled UV–Vis Monitoring: Combines three-electrode electrochemical control with real-time monitoring of optical absorption changes during electrochemical reactions.
