Side-illuminated single-chamber photoelectrochemical cell is designed for testing photoelectrodes with horizontal light through a quartz window mounted on the side of the borosilicate glass body. The quartz light window has a light transmittance above 95% (manufacturer data). It is held by a locking ring that keeps the seal while allowing the quartz glass to be replaced quickly.
The PTFE inner core of the lid rotates 360° so the working electrode can be aligned exactly with the light window; tightening the outer POM cap then seals the cell. Electrode feedthroughs are sealed with O-ring screws and a sub-surface sparger controls the atmosphere. Electrode shafts must be the long type to suit the height of the cell.
The body is made of borosilicate glass 3.3, which has low thermal expansion (3.3 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹) and the highest resistance classes against water (HGB 1) and acids (S 1). Avoid sudden temperature differences above 120 °C to reduce the risk of breakage.
In the jacketed (double-layer) version an outer water jacket surrounds the inner cell. Water from a circulating thermostatic bath flows through the jacket via hose connections and keeps the electrolyte at a constant temperature during the measurement.
