Jacketed H-Type Membrane Cell (Temperature-Controlled Dual-Compartment Electrochemical Cell)

and working principle The Jacketed H-Type Membrane Cell is a dual-compartment electrochemical reactor designed for membrane-separated experiments where the anode and cathode chemistries must be isolated. Two borosilicate glass chambers are joined by a central membrane interface (ion-exchange membrane supplied by the user), enabling selective ionic transport while limiting product crossover and unwanted mixing. A water-circulation jacket surrounds each compartment and connects to an external recirculating chiller/heater. This allows tight temperature regulation—critical for kinetics, gas solubility, membrane conductivity, and reproducible electrochemical data. Key features and construction Borosilicate glass chambers for chemical resistance and clean electrochemistry Water jacket on each half-cell for stable thermal control during long experiments Replaceable membrane design to suit PEM/AEM/other separators (e.g., Nafion, anion-exchange membranes) Three-electrode compatibility (working + reference in one chamber; counter in the other) to support accurate control and low solution resistance artefacts Leak-resistant sealing using PTFE cap hardware and O-rings (typical) for reliable operation Multiple chamber volume options (commonly 20–250 mL per compartment) for low-reagent use or higher throughput Compatibility and typical applications Ideal for researchers running membrane-separated electrochemistry with controlled atmospheres and temperature, including: CO₂ reduction (CO2RR), nitrogen reduction (NRR), and selective electrosynthesis Water splitting and catalyst screening (anodic/cathodic isolation) Ion-transport and membrane screening studies Corrosion and inhibitor studies where cross-contamination must be avoided Redox mediator or crossover-sensitive systems Why choose ScienceGears ScienceGears supports end-to-end electrochemistry workflows in Australia and New Zealand—pair this cell with potentiostats/galvanostats, ion-exchange membranes, electrodes, and (where relevant) spectroelectrochemistry or battery cycler platforms to build a complete, research-ready setup.
