Asylum Research has introduced an Electrochemistry Cell (EC Cell) for electrochemical experiments combined with AFM imaging:


The EC Cell accommodates samples (working electrodes) of various sizes, including metal cylinders, flat conducting samples, and even conducting thin films on insulating substrates, and enables studies of deposition, oxidation, corrosion, and mass transfer of metals and other materials. Nanoscale topographical changes can be precisely monitored in situ as induced by electrochemical reactions.


The cell provides for heating from ambient to 60°C (optional) and can be operated in a fully sealed configuration.


Asylum Research has developed the EC Cell in collaboration with Prof. Richard Compton of the University of Oxford (UK).
