Quick Change Zinc Plate Large Capacity Zinc Air Test Cell

Product Overview

This quick change zinc air test cell is designed for laboratory evaluation of zinc air battery chemistries and zinc electrode performance. Its plug-in anode fixture allows a zinc plate to be removed and replaced in approximately 2 seconds, reducing interruption between experiments and supporting efficient comparative testing. The transparent PMMA housing provides direct visibility of the internal assembly and electrolyte condition during operation.

The unit provides a 30 ml liquid capacity, allowing the assembled cell to sustain extended electrochemical reactions without frequent manual replenishment. Multiple reaction-area configurations support different experimental requirements, while the 0.5 cm electrode spacing establishes a consistent test geometry. This equipment is suited to battery R&D, electrochemical materials development, academic research, and laboratory-scale zinc air cell investigation.

Built for repeated controlled testing, the equipment combines a durable transparent enclosure with a straightforward manually operated configuration. The fixed anode structure helps maintain repeatable positioning, while the visible housing makes it easier to monitor the cell during assembly and operation. Proper PMMA handling and manual liquid addition are required for reliable long-term use.

Key Features

• Rapid Plug-In Anode Replacement: The fixed plug-in anode structure enables zinc plates to be changed in approximately 2 seconds, supporting fast sample comparison and reducing downtime between tests.

• Transparent PMMA Housing: The organic glass enclosure is transparent and durable, allowing researchers to observe the internal cell structure, electrode arrangement, and liquid condition without disassembling the unit.

• 30 ml Liquid Capacity: The cell accommodates 30 ml of liquid, helping maintain extended battery reactions after assembly and reducing the need for frequent manual electrolyte addition.

• Consistent Electrode Geometry: A 0.5 cm positive-to-negative electrode distance provides a defined spacing arrangement for repeatable zinc air battery experiments and controlled laboratory comparisons.

• Multiple Reaction Areas: Configurations with reaction areas of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 cm² allow researchers to select a test format suited to the active electrode area and experimental objective.

• Compatible Zinc Plate Dimensions: The anode fixture accepts zinc plates up to 34 mm wide, up to 2.5 mm thick, and between 55 and 80 mm long, providing practical flexibility for electrode preparation.

• Compact Laboratory Format: Measuring 6.5 by 6 by 7.2 cm, the equipment uses limited bench space and can be integrated into laboratory workflows for battery materials screening and electrochemical testing.

• Manual Liquid Addition: The simple manually filled design supports direct control over liquid addition during experiments. It is intended for manual operation and is not compatible with circulation pumps.

Applications

Technical Specifications

The five reaction-area configurations provide practical flexibility for experiments using different active electrode sizes. The corresponding site-facing identifiers are based on the product item number and the documented reaction-area differentiator: BE02 1 cm², BE02 2 cm², BE02 3 cm², BE02 4 cm², and BE02 5 cm². No unsupported performance values, operating temperatures, pressure ratings, or automated circulation functions are specified for this equipment.

For correct operation, users should prepare zinc plates within the documented dimensional limits and install them in the plug-in anode fixture. The rapid replacement mechanism is intended to simplify manual laboratory workflows, but the electrode must still be positioned correctly before each reaction. The 30 ml liquid capacity is available after assembly, and liquid addition must be performed manually because the configuration is not designed for a circulation pump.

PMMA care is important for maintaining enclosure clarity and structural condition. The plate must not be immersed directly in alcohol or have alcohol poured over its surface. If oil contamination occurs, a tissue containing only a small amount of alcohol may be used to wipe the surface. Ultrasonic cleaning is prohibited because it may damage the PMMA component. Following these handling requirements helps preserve visibility for ongoing observation and supports consistent use across repeated experiments.

Why Choose This Product

• Efficient Experimental Turnaround: Approximately 2-second anode replacement supports faster zinc plate screening and reduces handling time between laboratory tests.
