Electrocatalytic Cell Design (2020)
Solidworks render of cell
All the parts involved in the cell design
Motivation:
This cell was designed for my research project with the MIT Electrochemical Energy lab.
Description:
This cell is used to do high throughput testing on electrocatalysts. Samples are placed on a conductive glass slide. This slide needed to protrude from the cell for a wire to be connected to it. A gasket seals this off from the rest of the cell. Two probes needed to be submerged in the testing solution; these can be seen in the top of the cell. The cell is made from Teflon to withstand various testing conditions.
Lessons Learned:
I learned about designing something from external specifications. I learned about ordering parts from a machine shop.
