Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrochemical testing, and in particular relates to a double-sealed multifunctional electrochemical testing device and an assembling and using method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the process of developing new materials, the study of the physical and chemical properties of materials plays a vital role, among which the study of chemical properties has a guiding significance for the material preparation process, stability and application. More specifically, the electrochemical performance test of materials is an important and indispensable means for their electrochemical research and application.
[0003] In the process of testing the electrochemical properties of materials, the three-electrode system and the two-electrode system are the two most commonly used test systems. The three-electrode system includes a working electrode for electrochemical reactions, a counter electrode for providing a current loop, and a reference electrode for providing a stable electrode potential during the test. The working electrode refers to the electrode studied during the experiment, often including a glassy carbon electrode, a platinum electrode, a gold electrode, or an electrode made of the material being studied; the counter electrode refers to an electrode that forms a current loop with the working electrode without affecting the reaction of the entire system, and is made of materials that must remain inert in the research system, including silver, nickel, tungsten, platinum and other materials; the reference electrode is made of a material with a known electrode potential, and its electrode potential is not affected in the entire reaction system. Commonly used reference electrodes include silver / silver chloride electrodes, calomel electrodes, silver / silver ion electrodes, lithium / lithium ion electrodes, etc. During the test, if the electrode potential of the counter electrode does not change or the change is negligible, the reference electrode can be omitted or the counter electrode can be used as a reference electrode at the same time. This system is a two-electrode system. Through three-electrode or two-electrode testing, the electrochemical performance data such as the redox potential / current, working voltage, energy density, power density, mass transfer, adsorption and reversibility of electrochemical reactions of electrode materials or electrolytes can be obtained, and the comparison, analysis and research of these data can be used to study the characteristics of electrode materials and electrolytes in depth and effectively from a theoretical perspective. According to these characteristics, in the process of designing electrochemical systems and devices, their energy density, working voltage, rate performance, high and low temperature performance, corrosion resistance, etc. can be improved in a targeted manner. Therefore, an electrochemical testing device with stable performance, reliability and easy operation is extremely important for the study of the electrochemical properties of materials.
[0004] The utility model (CN 201320416874.6) discloses a three-electrode system electrochemical test device, the structure of which includes a main box body composed of an outer cavity for liquid injection and an inner cavity, the inner cavity is provided with a cover plate for fixing the working electrode, the counter electrode and the reference electrode, the cover plate is provided with two circular holes and a strip hole, the circular hole is used to fix the auxiliary electrode and the reference electrode, and the strip hole is provided with a lead screw adjustment device for fixing the working electrode, the test system can achieve simple operation and convenient testing. However, the device only uses the method of opening holes on the cover plate to fix the working electrode, the reference electrode and the counter electrode, so the air tightness is poor and cannot be used to test electrochemical reactions sensitive to air.
[0005] The invention (CN201810415665.7) discloses a novel three-electrode system electrochemical test device and method, which includes a fixed base, a cylindrical device housing, an electrochemical device back cover, a working electrode, an auxiliary electrode, a reference electrode and a pointer thermometer. The working electrode and the reference electrode are fixed in the back cover of the device and sealed with silicone. After the electrolyte is added through the cavity, the working electrode is inserted into the cavity of the injection to achieve sealing. Although the device realizes that the solution is only in contact with one surface of the working electrode and the reference electrode, and not in contact with the other surface (the electrode is immersed in the electrolyte), thereby avoiding the side reaction of the wiring immersed in the electrolyte, the problem that the other side of the electrode that is easy to react with air, such as lithium metal, cannot be exposed to the air has not been solved. At the same time, using silicone to seal the entire system may meet the sealing requirements in a short time, but long-term testing or under conditions of frequent movement will cause the airtightness to decrease, so that the test data obtained will have a large deviation. In addition, most traditional three-electrode test devices insert three electrodes into the solution. The relative position deviation of each operation is different, and the test results are different. On the other hand, although some three-electrode test devices have a certain degree of sealing, the numerous components and complex assembly test steps greatly affect the reliability and operability of the equipment. Furthermore, the electrode positions of these three-electrode test devices are relatively fixed, which greatly limits the test methods and application scope of the device.
[0006] The main problems of current electrochemical testing devices include complex structure, poor airtightness, poor consistency of test results, single function, etc. These defects have led to great limitations on the accuracy, repeatability and operability of the current electrochemical testing devices. Therefore, in view of the above technical problems of complex structure, poor airtightness, poor consistency of test results and single function, it is urgent to design and manufacture an electrochemical testing device with simple structure, good airtightness, strong operability, stable performance and multifunctionality and its assembly and use method. Summary of the invention

[0015] Step 5: Connect the instrument or device to the first conductive electrode lug 3, the second conductive electrode lug 5 and the third electrode 6 respectively, and perform real-time testing at the required temperature.
