Function:

Technical details:

300 W Xenon lamp with AM 1.5 G filter

Beam size: 33 mm with automatic shutter

Calibrated Si reference cell

Bandpass filters with centre wavelengths ranging from 350 nm to 800 nm

Photocatalytic water-splitting cell

Model:
Person responsible: dr. Suraj Gupta

Function:

Technical details:

Jacketed borosilicate glass cell with a total enclosed volume of 210 mL

Fitted with a removable Quartz window (60 mm dia.) that allows irradiation of simulated solar light on the enclosed solution

The cell has gas-tight ports for purging inert gases and can be connected directly to a gas chromatograph for continuous gas detection

Flow photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell

Model: custom made
Person responsible: dr. Suraj Gupta

Function:

Technical details:

it is a custom made three point measurement cell, with

Ag/AgCl reference electrode and

Pt wire as a counter electrode

the 5 mm x 5 mm sample is placed on Cu plate, forming a wireless back contact for working electrode

top side of sample is illuminated and in contact with electrolyte

the pump is providing the constant flow of the electrolyte

membrane between counter and working electrode, allowing the separation of produced oxygen and hydrogen
