Description
Product Overview
The EC-RM1 provides direct Raman access to a plate-type working electrode through a quartz optical window while maintaining three-electrode electrochemical control. Its compact single-chamber design supports both static electrolyte filling and external electrolyte circulation, making it suitable for mechanistic studies in electrocatalysis, battery materials, and electrochemical interface research.
Key Features
- Direct Interface Observation: Enables direct optical access to a single electrochemical interface for fundamental reaction studies.
- Minimal System Complexity: Single-chamber configuration provides a simplified reaction environment for baseline mechanistic analysis.
- Interface Evolution Analysis: Enables investigation of electrode surface reconstruction and interfacial structural changes during electrochemical operation.

Published Application Example
In Situ Raman Monitoring of Glycerol Electrooxidation: The cell used in this study, supplied by Beyond Battery® under product code EC-RM1, was coupled with an HRS-5A Raman spectrometer to investigate an Au1Cu1-Ag/AgBr catalyst supported on carbon paper. Its single-compartment, three-electrode configuration enabled time-resolved Raman acquisition directly from the working electrode under an applied potential of 1.43 V. Raman changes near 1060 and 1400 cm⁻¹ were monitored during electrolysis.
