ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu 1 Product description The ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu test cell is a version of the ECC-Opto-Std test cell specialized to highly corrosive aqueous and non-lithium aprotic electrolytes. For this purpose, current collectors are made of gold (optional nickel or platinum) replacing stainless steel. One restriction must be noted: Gold current collectors are not fully compatible with aprotic lithium based electrolytes, as lithium may alloy with gold at very low potentials.
User Manual ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu 2 Features 2- and 3-electrode cell with optical window for highly corrosive aqueous and non-lithium aprotic electrochemistry. Materials in media contact are gold, PEEK and EPDM In the standard sandwich set-up, the backside of the disc-shaped working electrode ...

User Manual ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu 12. Fill the cell with electrolyte (e.g. 3 sulfuric acid) according to the following procedure: Connect the provided transfer line to port B. Charge a 5 ml syringe with ca. 0.2 ml of electrolyte. NOTE: We recommend single-use PP plastic syringes with low friction silicone pistons.
Wear appropriate protection equipment, goggles and gloves. Clean all cell parts right after disassembly. Leaving cell parts in contact with ambient atmosphere while still being wetted with electrolyte may result in severe corrosion. 6 Windows for ECC-Opto-Std-Aqu ECC-Opto Borosilicate glass window (standard) List of Components: Glass window (1 pc, 22 x 0.3 mm)
