Bespoke spectro-electrochemical cells for electrochromic devices

Abstract

We here suggest a bespoke spectro-electrochemical cell customized to resolve high-resolution optical imaging and spectra while operating electrochemistry. This is designed to satisfy all geometrical requirements for real-time optical imaging under an optical microscope as well as for electrochemical measurement with a commercial potentiostat. The 3D printer is used to fabricate the customized cell body and it is assembled with homemade flexible, thin electrochemical electrodes. Such a fabricated spectro-electrochemical cell is then used to simultaneously measure and evaluate the optical and electrochemical properties of the conductive polymers.
