ECC-Air-Ni 1 Product description The ECC-Air-Ni is another member of the modular ECC series. In contrast to the standard ECC-Air test cell, the current collectors are made of nickel instead of stainless steel. This way, the ECC-Air-Ni is stable against corrosion in alkaline aqueous electrolytes.
Thickness of electrode stack / µm Materials in media contact are nickel and PEEK. Modular cell construction with many interchangeable components. Dedicated tools available to ease cell assembly and operation see http://el-cell.com Page 5 of 16 Release 1.14...
User Manual ECC-Air-Ni 3 Safety precautions Use proper safety precautions when using hazardous electrode materials and electrolytes. Wear protective glasses and gloves to protect you against electrolyte that may accidental ly spill out during disassembly. Upon cell disassembly, dispose all materials properly. 4 Cell assembly Plunger (hole pattern), Gas inlet...

User Manual ECC-Air-Ni In order to operate the test cell with a reference, the small feed -through hole of the REF sleeve is to be loaded with the reference material. The vertical position of the reference is determined by the thickness of the components. Make sure that the electrodes and separator used have the appropriate thickness to avoid a short circuit between the reference and anyone of the two other electrodes.
User Manual ECC-Air-Ni Insert the Plunger into the sleeve with the perforated plate pointing upwards. Put the 18 mm diameter gas diffusion working-electrode onto the perforated plate inside the sleeve. Put the glass fiber separator onto the working-electrode and dispense a defined amount of electrolyte on it.
User Manual ECC-Air-Ni Sleeve removing tool The REF-sleeve can be easily removed with the sleeve removing tool. First detach the Reference-electrode assembly, then position the tool beneath the rim of the sleeve and lift it out of the cell base. NOTE: Leaving cell parts in contact with ambient atmosphere while still being wetted with electrolyte may result in severe corrosion.
User Manual ECC-Air-Ni 7 Electrical connection The electrical connection of the test cell to the potentiostat or battery tester is depicted below for 3-electrode operation (i.e. using a reference electrode). For 2 -electrode operation the RE lead is to be connected to the cell base. NOTE: Some potentiostats may not have the CE sense lead.
