Reaction products in electrochemical processes can be identified by coupling an electrochemical thin-layer flow cell to a thermospray mass spectrometer. The performance of this analytical method, electrochemical thermospray mass spectrometry, is demonstrated. This includes the characterization of the improved electrochemical thin-layer flow cell. This cell offers the possibility to combine cyclic voltammograms with mass spectrometry. This goal was achieved, too, by the construction of a new thermospray ion source and a special vacuum recipient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
