A rotating disk electrode (RDE) is a hydrodynamic working electrode used in a three electrode system. The electrode rotates during experiments making a constant flux of analyte to the electrode. These working electrodes are used in electrochemical applications such as corrosion studies, fuel cell research, […]
An electrochemical cell consists of two half-cells. Each half-cell consists of an electrode in contact with an electrolyte. An electrode is an electronic conductor such as metal or carbon or a semiconductor. Current flows through the electrodes via the movement of electrons. An electrolyte is a phase in which charge is carried by ions. In Read more about What are Electrochemical Cells?[…]
Batteries are indispensable energy storage systems for mobile and stationary applications. They are mostly used for portable devices or when electrical lines are impractical or impossible.
Their application fields reach from smaller devices such as MP3 players or smartphones up to high power systems for the […]
A new partnership between Bitrode and Gamry was announced today. The collaboration in the development of battery test 
equipment shows the strength of the two companies. A ‘One Stop‘ product has been created by integrating Gamry’s EIS […]
In electrochemistry, the phrase in situ refers to performing electrochemical experiments under operating conditions of the electrochemical cell, i.e., under potential control. Potential control […]
A new research article entitled “Impact of particle shape on electron transport and lifetime in zinc oxide nanorod-based dye-sensitized solar cells” has recently been published at AIMS Press Materials Science. The article was written by Roger Chang, Kemakorn Ithisuphalap, Ilona Kretzschmar – Department of Chemical Engineering, City College of the City University of New York, Read more about Nanoparticle-Based Dye Solar Cells[…]

Why Use Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion Measurement? Corrosion is an electrochemical process. A broad range of electrochemical techniques have been developed specifically for corrosion measurement. Electrochemical techniques are fast. Electrochemical techniques are sensitive. Nevertheless, there are some Corrosion Engineers who don’t use electrochemical techniques…probably because they don’t understand them. Electrochemical Techniques and Corrosion Corrosion is Read more about Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion Measurement[…]
According to a new report released by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA), 58,495 of the 609,539 bridges in America have been found to be ‘structurally deficient”. This key finding is based on the ARBTA analysis of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s recently-released 2015 “National Bridge Inventory” database. According to the ARBTA Report Read more about Nearly 10% of US Bridges Considered Structurally Deficient[…]
Corrosion can be viewed as the natural return of metals to their ores and will occur anywhere a galvanic cell or field can be or has established. To establish the field all that is needed is two dissimilar metals that are connected directly or indirectly by an electrolyte, such as water. This is the same Read more about Corrosion as an Electrochemical Process[…]
Correct tuning of a potentiostat is required in order to produce accurate data. A diagnostic test can help determine if there are any problems with the instrument and should be the first step in troubleshooting. On the occasion when you have failure in a specific ‘sub test’ you have to decide what to do. Gamry Read more about Understanding the Calibration Information of Your Potentiostat[…]
