Electrochemistry platform

We have three electrochemical potentiostats from Biologic Science Instruments: two SP-300 potentiostats equipped with 2 channels and one current booster (±1A/±48V) each which can beconnected to the glovebox and the GC if desired in order to do experiences in oxygen- free atmosphere or in-situ analysis; . one VSP-300 potentiostat which accommodates two channels and one current booster (±4A/-3;+14V). In addition, we have now built a flow electrochemical cell allowing to test the catalysts in “industrial-type” conditions, and to characterize the products on-line with a new SRI 8510 GC equipped with automatic gas sampling, two injection valves and a multiple columns (MS and carbon-packed) and detectors (TCD and FID methanizer) system, allowing for separation and quantification of all possible gaseous reaction products, from H2 to C6 hydrocarbons. The laboratory has also set up two Xenon Light Source 300 W with a 410 nm - 1200 nm long wave pass filter (Asahi Spectra).
