Abstract
A rotating disk electrode cell has a housing with a reservoir configured to receive a sample for an electrochemical experiment. A shaft is positioned in the housing such that the shaft is free to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the shaft and such that both ends of the shaft are located inside of the housing.
Claims20
A rotating disk electrode cell, comprising:
- a housing that includes a reservoir for receiving a sample for an electrochemical experiment,
- a shaft positioned within the housing so as to rotate around a longitudinal axis of the shaft, the shaft having a first end and a second end,
- the first end of the shaft and the second end of the shaft being positioned inside of the housing and the shaft does not extend outside the housing,
- a working electrode fixed to the first end of the shaft, and
- a reference electrode located within the housing to contact the sample and offset from the longitudinal axis of the shaft,
- wherein the shaft is magnetically coupled to a drive shaft across the housing.

A rotating disk electrode cell, comprising:
- a reservoir cover that holds a shaft such that the shaft can rotate around a longitudinal axis of the shaft without the shaft extending through the reservoir cover;
- a housing, detachably attached to the reservoir cover, that includes a reservoir for receiving a sample for an electrochemical experiment,
- the shaft being positioned within the housing so as to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the shaft, the shaft having a first end and a second end,
- the first end of the shaft and the second end of the shaft being positioned inside of the housing so that the shaft does not extend outside the housing;
- a working electrode fixed to the first end of the shaft, and
- a reference electrode located within the housing to contact the sample and offset from the longitudinal axis of the shaft.
