User Manual ECC-Opto-Std – Release 2.62 

2  Features 

 

2- and 3-electrode cell with optical window for aprotic electrochemistry.  

 

Materials in media contact are stainless steel 1.4404, PEEK and EPDM 

 

The backside of the working electrode material can be observed through the 
optical window on top. Inspection area diameter is 1 mm. Other diameters up to 

10 mm available. 

 

Typically used in combination with optical or Raman microscopy in the reflection 
mode. X-ray option with Beryllium window available. 

 

The window is made of optical glass. Sapphire, Beryllium and Kapton

® 

windows 

are available on request. 

 

Working electrodes can be single crystals or grains, powder samples and free-

standing electrodes (applied onto current collector mesh). Maximum electrode 
diameter is 10 mm. 

 

Easy and clean electrolyte filling via the vacuum (syringe) method.   
All necessary equipment is included. 

 

Cell assembly and filling are to be carried out inside a glove box.  Once sealed, the 

cell may be operated outside the box at ambient atmosphere.   

 

Small and defined electrolyte volume down to 0.1 cm

3

 due to minimized dead 

volume 

 

Connection to potentiostat/battery tester via 2 mm banana sockets, adapters for 4 
mm banana sockets are included 

 

Temperature operation range -20 to +70 °C
