Modular solid-state unit for electrochemical studies

Permeability, strength and electrochemical studies on ceramic multilayers for solid-state electrochemical cells

An electrochemical reactor can be used to purify flue gasses. Such a reactor can be a multilayer structure consisting of alternating layers of porous electrodes and electrolytes (a porous cell stack). In this work optimization of such a unit has been done by changing the pore former composition and the electrode powder pre-treatment. The effect on permeability, mechanical strength and electroch...

An all solid-state electrochemical electrolyte analyzer.

Ion-selective electrodes have been applied to analysis of blood electrolytes with some success. However, currently available ion-selective electrode systems tend to be elaborate and expensive. We describe a clinical electrolyte analyzer in which inexpensive ion-selective electrodes are used. The elec‘trodes are in the configuration of thin wires and are all solid in construction. They may be di...

Comparison of solid state studies and electrochemical behavior of poly (dimethylsilane) and poly (dimethylstannum) film electrodes

Poly(dimethylsilane) (M. Wt. 2175) and poly(dimethylstannum) (M. Wt. 2650) have been successfully synthesized by electrochemical polymerization of dichloro-dimethylsilane and dichlorodimethylstannane, respectively, in a single-compartment cell equipped with aluminium electrodes in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate in dimethoxyethane as the supporting electrolyte. Thin films of the above poly...

Electrochemical protection of thin film electrodes in solid state nanopores.

Solid state nanopores are a core element of next-generation single molecule tools in the field of nano-biotechnology. Thin film electrodes integrated into a pore can interact with charges and fields within the pore. In order to keep the nanopore open and thus functional electrochemically induced surface alteration of electrode surfaces and bubble formation inside the pore have to be eliminated....
