Application Notes

The Normalization of the CPE

Usually, modern potentiostats and galvanostats involve a couple of electrochemical investigation methods which are of big relevance for the improvement of existing- and the development of new products. more...

The Z-HIT Algorithm

Phenomena such as drift may influence data recorded by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The Z-HIT algorithm helps to prove the stationarity and the linearity of a test object and allows to reconstruct the not affected data from the phase shift of the EIS measurement. more...

Solar Fuel and Photosynthesis

Solar induced hydrogen production, water splitting, artifical photosynthesis: solar fuels as the next generation energy supply.

The photocatalytic splitting of water is crucial to the future of the environmental friendly production of hydrogen. This will make the hydrogen based economy a source of emission free and cheap energy.

Researchers all over the world are searching for suitable materials, which show a strong catalytic effect of producing hydrogen out of water or smiliar compunds by using the power of the sun. On the other hand, great efforts have been done in investigating and understanding the science of fuel cells and hydrogen engines, which are capable of using efficiently the power of this small molecule.

Establishing a completely closed and fully reliable hydrogen circle without using fossil fuels or nuclear power plants as energy supplies for H₂ production is a goal which can enormously change our energy consumption.
