[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , a spectroelectrochemical analysis system for material detection provided by the utility model includes an electrochemical workstation 1, the electrochemical workstation 1 is connected to an electrochemical reaction cell 2, and the current in the electrochemical reaction cell 2 is measured. The light source 3 is connected to the electrochemical reaction cell 2 through an optical fiber 1 4, and the electrochemical reaction cell 2 is connected to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 through an optical fiber 2 5. The light emitted by the light source 3 enters the electrochemical reaction cell 2 after passing through the optical fiber 1 4, and the optical fiber 2 5 guides the light passing through the electrochemical reaction cell 2 into the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1. When working, the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 is used to detect the current in the electrochemical reaction cell 2 and analyze the full spectrum. The transmittance, reflectivity and absorbance of the material can be calculated through the reference spectrum, dark spectrum and sample spectrum.

[0031] Among them, the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 is the core control component of this workstation, which is responsible for providing stable electrochemical signals and controlling the electrochemical reaction process in the electrochemical reaction cell 2. In addition, it also has a spectral analysis function. The spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 adopts advanced digital control technology and has the characteristics of high precision, high stability, and high reliability. The working electrode, reference electrode, and auxiliary electrode of the electrochemical workstation 1 are connected to the corresponding electrodes in the electrochemical reaction cell 2 through wires to realize the transmission and control of electrochemical signals.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The electrochemical reaction cell 2 is the place where the workstation performs electrochemical reactions, and includes a cell body 21 and a three-pole electrode disposed in the cell body 21, wherein the three-pole electrode is a working electrode, a reference electrode, and an auxiliary electrode. The working electrode is used to perform electrochemical reactions, the reference electrode is used to provide a stable potential reference, and the auxiliary electrode is used to assist the working electrode in completing the electrochemical reaction. The design of the electrochemical reaction cell 2 fully considers factors such as heat dissipation, solution flow, and electrode protection during the reaction process, to ensure that the electrochemical reaction can be performed stably and efficiently.

[0033] In this embodiment, the electrochemical reaction cell 2 can select different types of reaction cells according to experimental needs, such as a single-chamber reaction cell, a double-chamber reaction cell, etc. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of spectral measurement, the electrochemical reaction cell 2 is made of high-transmittance materials and is designed with an interface suitable for optical fiber connection.

[0034] The light source 3 is used to provide a stable and continuous light signal to excite the substance in the electrochemical reaction cell 2 and generate a spectral signal. The light source 3 can select different types of light sources, such as a deuterium lamp, a halogen tungsten lamp, etc., and select a suitable light source type and wavelength range according to the experimental needs. The light signal emitted by the light source 3 is transmitted to the electrochemical reaction cell 2 through the optical fiber 4. The optical fiber 4 has the characteristics of high transmittance and low loss, which can ensure the efficient transmission of the light signal.

[0035] The spectral signal generated in the electrochemical reaction cell 2 is transmitted to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 for analysis via the optical fiber 25. The optical fiber 25 also has the characteristics of high transmittance and low loss, which can ensure the efficient transmission of the spectral signal. The spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 adopts advanced spectroscopic technology and signal processing technology, which can accurately measure the wavelength, intensity and other parameters of the spectral signal, and then analyze the type, concentration and other information of the substance in the electrochemical reaction process.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy and stability of spectrum measurement, a transmittance bracket 6 is introduced. The transmittance bracket 6 reduces the loss and interference of the optical signal during the transmission process by optimizing the optical path design, thereby improving the accuracy of spectrum measurement.

[0037] Specifically, the electrochemical reaction cell 2 is arranged on the transmittance bracket 6, the light source 3 is connected to the input end of the transmittance bracket 6 through the optical fiber 1 4, and the output end of the transmittance bracket 6 is connected to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 through the optical fiber 2 5. The light emitted by the light source 3 enters the transmittance bracket 6 through the optical fiber 1 4, and is output from the transmittance bracket 6 after passing through the electrochemical reaction cell 2 arranged on the transmittance bracket 6. The light output by the transmittance bracket 6 is input into the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 The transmittance bracket 6 is mainly composed of a frame 61, a collimating lens 62, an integrating sphere 63 and other components. The frame 61 is used to support and fix other components to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire bracket. The frame 61 is provided with a collimating lens 62 and an integrating sphere 63 from top to bottom. The collimating lens 62 is connected to the light source 3 through an optical fiber 1 4, and the integrating sphere 63 is connected to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 through an optical fiber 2 5. The collimating lens 62 is used to collimate the light signal emitted by the light source 3 so that it enters the electrochemical reaction cell 2 in the form of parallel light. The integrating sphere 63 is used to collect the spectral signal generated by the electrochemical reaction cell 2, and import it into the optical fiber 2 5 to transmit it to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1.

[0039] The main function of the transmittance bracket 6 is to optimize the optical path design and improve the accuracy and stability of spectral measurement. Specifically, the introduction of the collimating lens 62 allows the optical signal emitted by the light source 3 to enter the electrochemical reaction cell 2 in the form of parallel light, reducing the scattering and loss of the optical signal during transmission. The integrating sphere 63 can evenly collect the spectral signal generated by the electrochemical reaction cell 2, and guide it into the optical fiber 25 to transmit it to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1, further improving the accuracy of spectral measurement.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 In some experiments, in order to facilitate the replacement and cleaning of the electrochemical reaction cell 2, a cuvette holder 7 is introduced. The input end of the cuvette holder 7 is connected to the light source 3 through the optical fiber 1 4, and the output end is connected to the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 through the optical fiber 2 5. The cuvette holder 7 adopts a four-way structure, and four cuvettes can be installed at the same time to realize the parallel operation of multiple groups of experiments.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] The three electrodes of the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 are respectively connected to the working electrode, reference electrode and auxiliary electrode of the electrochemical reaction cell. The working electrode and the reference electrode apply voltage, and the working electrode and the auxiliary electrode measure the current. The software can apply voltage and measure current in different ways, such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, etc. While applying voltage, the light emitted by the light source 3 passes through the electrochemical reaction cell 2 and the working electrode through the optical fiber 1 4, and the optical fiber 2 5 receives and enters the spectroelectrochemical workstation 1. The spectroelectrochemical workstation 1 can measure the current and can measure the full spectrum in real time. The transmittance, reflectivity and absorbance can be calculated through the reference spectrum, dark spectrum and sample spectrum. In this way, a full spectrum data can be obtained at each applied voltage. Thereby realizing the combination of spectroscopy and electrochemistry, and obtaining electrochemical measurement data and spectral measurement data at the same time.
