Spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) enables in-operando UV-Vis study of electrochemical cells to explore the evolution of different cell components and understand cell mechanisms. Researchers have demonstrated various custom UV-Vis cell designs to accommodate SEC experiments. However, existing designs do not easily permit temperature ramp techniques to examine the effects of rapidly changing cell temperature or high temperature conditions on cell mechanisms. This communication presents two easy-to-replicate, low-cost cell designs that are incorporable with existing UV-Vis systems (transmittance, reflectance) and enable high temperature, rapid heating SEC experiments. Each cell design was tested to evaluate temperature ramp and sealing performance.
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.
