An H-type electrochemical cell (or H-cell) is the most ubiquitous reactor in electrochemistry research for applications that require the physical and chemical separation of the anode and cathode chambers. It is named for its distinctive "H" shape, where two vertical glass compartments are connected by a horizontal bridge. This bridge typically contains a membrane or a glass frit that allows ions to move between chambers to complete the circuit while preventing the gaseous or liquid products formed at one electrode from reaching and interfering with the other.

The H-cell is specifically chosen over a single-chamber cell for several reasons: (1) Product Separation: In CO2 reduction (CO2RR), the oxygen produced at the anode can diffuse to the cathode and be re-reduced, which ruins Faradaic efficiency. The H-cell prevents this "back-reaction". (2) pH Asymmetry: The different pH levels in each chamber can be well maintained (e.g., an acidic anode for oxygen evolution and a neutral cathode for CO2 reduction). (3) Cross-Contamination Prevention: It prevents dissolved metal ions (like Platinum from a counter electrode) from migrating and plating onto the working electrode.

Part Number
  • CFERSHTEC (C-FER-SHTEC)
Cell Features
  • The whole electrochemical cell body is made of glass material with high B content
  • The H-type electrochemical cell is composed of two 50 mL individual chambers.
  • The O-ring was used for cell chamber sealing.
  • A membrane or glass frit can be placed between the cells as the clamp was used to fix/tight them.
  • The sample is hold by an electrode holder with I.D. of 6 mm and immersed in the electrolyte. The electrode holder can be additionally purchased from here CFERWEH 
  • The counter and reference electrodes can be found in the electrode accessories. All these electrodes are not included in the electrochemical cell package and please purchase it separately. 
  • Various gases can be flowed into the electrolyte for purging. 
Cell Sizes
