Reusable Gasket Sealed Electrolyte Cell Metal Fuel Cell Reactor

Product Overview

This reusable gasket-sealed electrolyte cell is a transparent zinc-air testing mold and metal fuel cell reactor designed for controlled electrochemical experiments. Its sealed configuration supports convenient tubing connections, while the transparent organic glass body allows researchers to observe the test assembly and electrolyte behavior during operation. The compact unit combines a defined reaction area with an external electrolyte circulation arrangement for repeatable laboratory testing.

The equipment is suited to zinc-air battery research, metal fuel cell development, electrolyte circulation studies, and oxygen-fed electrochemical experiments. It supports selectable reaction areas from 1 to 4.5 cm², multiple gas tube connector sizes, and external pump flow ranges suitable for different test conditions. The unit is applicable to battery laboratories, advanced materials research, academic electrochemistry programs, and development work involving circulating electrolytes.

The sealed design helps maintain a controlled test environment, while 304 stainless steel screws and nuts provide durable mechanical fastening. Continuous electrolyte circulation can replenish consumed ions, reduce negative-electrode passivation, and lower concentration polarization during high-current charging and discharging. These features support stable operation when researchers need consistent test conditions and practical access to the fluid circuit.

Key Features

• Reusable Sealed Cell Design: The sealed structure provides a defined electrolyte chamber and convenient tubing connections for repeated zinc-air and metal fuel cell experiments. This configuration helps researchers establish consistent assembly conditions across multiple tests.

• Transparent Organic Glass Construction: The organic glass mold allows direct visual inspection of the cell body and internal test environment. Its transparent construction is useful when observing electrolyte circulation, assembly condition, or visible changes during experimentation.

• External Electrolyte Circulation: An external circulation pump moves electrolyte through the test system at selectable flow ranges of 310 ml/min or 2065 ml/min. The two flow options support different experimental requirements and circulation intensities.

• Improved Electrochemical Test Control: Continuous electrolyte circulation can replenish ions consumed during reaction and reduce concentration gradients. This helps limit negative-electrode passivation and concentration polarization during high-current charge and discharge testing.

• Multiple Reaction Area Options: The available configurations provide reaction areas of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 4.5 cm². Researchers can select a suitable active area for screening, comparison testing, or experiments requiring different current densities.

• Oxygen-Compatible Gas Connections: Gas tube connectors are available in 6, 8, and 10 mm sizes. The connection arrangement can support pure oxygen experiments when the laboratory test protocol requires oxygen-fed operation.

• Durable Fastening Hardware: Screws and nuts are manufactured from 304 stainless steel. This hardware provides robust clamping and reliable mechanical support during repeated cell assembly and laboratory use.

• Flexible Electrolyte Capacity: Storage bottle capacities of 100, 250, and 500 ml allow the working electrolyte volume to be matched to the test duration and circulation requirements. This gives laboratories practical flexibility for short screening tests and longer experiments.

• Compact Laboratory Format: With a width and height of 7*6 cm, the unit occupies limited bench space while retaining the essential connections for sealed electrolyte and gas-flow testing. Its compact form supports integration into existing laboratory test setups.

Operating and Care Notes

The organic glass plate must not be placed directly into ethanol or alcohol solution. Alcohol must also not be poured onto the surface, because this can cause surface cracking or damage. If oil or other contamination is present, clean the surface with a tissue lightly moistened with a small amount of alcohol rather than immersing or flooding the plate.

Ultrasonic cleaning must not be used on the organic glass plate. Following these handling requirements helps protect the transparent body and supports continued reuse of the equipment. Laboratory staff should also select tubing, pump flow, electrolyte capacity, and gas supply conditions according to the intended test protocol and the compatibility requirements of the experimental materials.

The circulation function is intended to continuously replenish ions consumed during reaction and improve electrolyte movement through the test system. It can also help reduce negative-electrode passivation and concentration polarization during high-current charging and discharging. Actual electrochemical results depend on the electrolyte, electrode materials, gas conditions, current, and other experimental variables established by the researcher.

Why Choose This Product

• Controlled Experimental Architecture: The sealed cell body, defined electrode spacing, selectable reaction areas, and external circulation path give researchers practical control over key test variables.

• Built for Repeated Laboratory Use: Reusable construction and 304 stainless steel fastening hardware provide a durable foundation for repeated assembly and electrochemical testing.

• Adaptable Research Configuration: Multiple reaction areas, gas connector sizes, pump flow ranges, and electrolyte bottle capacities allow the system to be matched to different zinc-air and metal fuel cell programs.

• Useful Under Demanding Test Conditions: Continuous electrolyte circulation addresses ion consumption, negative-electrode passivation, and concentration polarization concerns that can influence high-current experiments.

• Practical Integration and Support: The compact format and convenient tubing connections make the equipment straightforward to incorporate into existing laboratory workflows, while application-specific configuration guidance can help align the setup with the intended experiment.
