Ultrasonic coating machine
CATALOG NAME:
Ultrasonic coating machine
DESCRIPTION:
The coating machine using a modern ultrasonic spray technique demonstrated a remarkable platinum mass power density due to the deposition of the right catalyst content on the electrodes by a simple method. The control of the surface tension of the catalyst ink is fundamental to allow the catalyst layer deposition. An ultrasonic nozzle is used for the atomization of the ink. The amount of atomized liquid depends exclusively on the rate at which liquid is introduced onto the surface and deposited spray is repeatable in shape and uniformity and resilient to external disturbances. The uniform thin film coating achieved with ultrasonic retains the porosity of the electrode and does not impede the transport of reactants due to flooding of the electrode surface. Coating process is fully computer controlled and can be programmed according to the coating area. Ultrasonic machine parameters during electrode coating are: spray head frequency 48 kHz, catalyst ink flow rate 0.5 ml/min, spray head speed 20 mm/sec, spray width 5 mm, brake time between cycles (to allow drying of the layer) 10 sec.

Electrochemical Scanning System/
CATALOG NAME:
VersaSCAN
DESCRIPTION:
VersaSCAN Electrochemical Scanning System from Princeton Applied Research provides functionality for two scanning probe experiments: Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM), and Localized Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS). SECM/LEIS is an electrochemical scanning probe system that measures in situ the current caused by an electrochemical reaction at the interface between the tip (10 and 25 µm metal microelectrode) and the substrate. The images can be obtained by monitoring the tip current as the tip is scanned in a rastered pattern across the substrate surface. These images contain information about chemical and electrochemical activity at the substrate surface as well as the substrate topography. The applications of a SECM/LEIS system are porous membrane study, fuel cell and electrolyser catalysts biological sensors, reaction kinetics, and corrosion mechanisms.

KATO TECH Electrospinning Equipment
CATALOG NAME:
DESCRIPTION:
The KATO TECH Electrospinning Equipment is used for the production of organic nanofibers with diameters from 50 to 800 nm. It is based on the application of a potential difference between a positively charged polymeric fluid (10-40 kV) and its dispersion on a negatively charged target, as a nanofiber. Nanofibers produced through electrospinning have two main properties: a very high volume-to-surface ratio and relatively flawless structure at the molecular level. The first property makes these nanofibers suitable for activities requiring high physical contact, such as providing sites for chemical reactions or capturing small particulate materials through successive filtration. The second property allows the nanofibers to approach the maximum theoretical strength of the spinning materials, opening the possibility to make composite materials with high mechanical performances. These materials are used in: filtration, manufacture of catalysts and diffusion layers, textiles, implant materials, tissue repair, dressings, medicinal textile materials, composites.
