This month we're featuring our first Squidstat Technical Briefing: Fuel Cells & Electrolyzers. Whether you're new to hydrogen technologies or already working with fuel cells / electrolyzers, this document brings together the fundamentals of how these systems operate with practical advice for characterizing them in the lab.
This 6-page document covers the different types of fuel cells and electrolyzers, common electrochemical techniques like EIS and polarization testing, and what to consider when choosing instrumentation for everything from single-cell experiments to high-current stack testing.
We also take a closer look at where different Squidstat & Zahner electrochemical workstations fit into different workflows, share a few practical tips for improving measurement quality, and highlight how Ayrton Energy is using our Squidstat Penta potentiostat to support their hydrogen storage research.
If you're working on catalysts, membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), complete fuel cell stacks, or you're simply curious about electrochemical energy conversion, this technical briefing is a great place to start!
Episode 7 of our stop-motion video series is here! This time, the Squidstat Solvers are showing how to connect your Squidstat potentiostat to different electrochemical cell configurations.
Episode 7 of our stop-motion video series is here! This time, the Squidstat Solvers demonstrate how to properly connect your Squidstat potentiostat to many electrochemical cell configurations.
Whether you have a two-electrode cell, a three-electrode cell, a low-resistance cell requiring a four-point connection, or a four-electrode configuration with a separate sense electrode, each requires its own lead connection setup. In this episode, the Squidstat Solvers walk through each lead connection step-by-step, demonstrating where every lead should be connected for each cell type.
With their signature mix of movement and humor, they'll show how easy it is to connect your Squidstat potentiostat to your electrochemical cell, helping you get set up quickly and confidently before starting your experiment.
Squidstat Distributor Spotlight
This month we are highlighting our long-standing partner and distributor, Zahner-Elektrik GmbH & Co. KG, who represents the Squidstat product line in Germany and provides high-end electrochemical instrumentation worldwide.
This year is a special one for Zahner, marking their 50th anniversary, the 80th birthday of their founder, Dr. Carl-Albrecht Schiller, and the launch of thenew IM7/Zahner Lab platform.
Together, Zahner and Squidstat products offer researchers a broad range of solutions. Zahner’s product portfolio complements our Squidstat product line, giving researchers more options to meet their electrochemical research needs.
In addition to supporting customers across Germany, Zahner will be showcasing both the Zahner and Squidstat product portfolios at several conferences this year.
