A majority of sensors, regardless of industry application, rely upon detection of an electrical or electrochemical signal triggered by a reaction or change of state of some kind. Instruments capable of measuring changes in current down to picoamp levels, or even as low as attoamp levels, are oftentimes necessary to …
Photo-electrochemistry covers many areas where photons comprise the fundamental functionality within a device or system, either through the emission or absorption of them (or both). New materials are developed all the time to harness the value of photo-electrochemical principals. Liquid crystalline displays (LCDs), light emitting diodes (LEDs), and organic light emitting …
Corrosion is one of most prominent phenomena dealing with the aging of materials. In many brachnes of industry and science, corrosion plays a subtle yet key role affecting processes ranging from the moving parts of complicated mechanical systems or the packaging of food. Research on steel, concrete, and corrosion under environmental conditions, …
Zahner’s CIMPS and QE/IPCE workstations, which utilize a combination of a Zennium workstation and external potentiostat powering a lightsource, are well-known within the solar PV research community as among the best equipment available to carry out the investigation of silicon solar cells (SC), dye sensitized SC, perovskite SC, Grätzel SC, organic photovoltaics …
Research on batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis cells and supercapacitors fall into this application category. Determination of State-of-Charge/State-of-Health (SOC/SOH) and of current and power density are performed on a routine basis using AC and DC measurement methods. Recording true parallel Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) data of stacked cells is of prime …
