Photoelectrochemical (PEC) Measurement Station for examining photoelectric properties of materials. Enables photocurrent and Open Circuit Potential (OCP) measurements under controlled illumination conditions.
Description
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) Measurement Station
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) Measurement Station allows to apply various measurement techniques: chronoamperometry, voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry and the light intensity modulated photocurrent/photovoltage. Those techniques enable to examine the photoelectric dynamics of the sample. Samples may be investigated using two– or three-electrodes configuration.
⬛ Quantities measured by the instrument:
- I-V characteristics of a sample under illumination,
- Open Circuit Potential (OCP) as a function of light wavelength,
- Photocurrent as a function of light intensity,
- IPCE or EQE,
- Surface Photovoltage (SPV),
- Space Charge Region capacitance.
⬛ Measurement techniques:
- Chronoamperometry,
- Voltammetry,
- Cyclic voltammetry,
- Chopped illuminance and more.
Sample shielding extension
The PEC measurement station may be extended with the Electrochemical Shielding Box to screen the ambient light and electromagnetic fields.
