Triton AX – Heating & Cooling Liquid Electrochemical System for TEM

The only system for studying electrochemical processes at the nanoscale at temperatures ranging from -50 °C to 300 °C.

Heating & Cooling Liquid Electrochemical System for TEM Protochips AustraliaTriton AX is the newest member of the Protochips in situ TEM portfolio and offers an unprecedented temperature range of -50 °C to 300 °C to be applied to liquid electrochemical experiments. This huge technological advancement provides a platform for studying batteries, electrocatalysts, corrosion, and nanomaterial synthesis at relevant or extreme temperatures to propel innovation.
With Triton AX, you can:

  • Create realistic and relevant environmental conditions (think cold weather climates or high operating temperatures)
  • Speed up or slow down reaction kinetics that are too slow or too fast to study in the TEM
  • Mitigate beam damage (using cooling technology)

Liquid Heating and Cooling Electrochemical Cell

  • Self-aligning holder.
  • Heating and cooling with simultaneous quantitative electrochemistry.
  • Relevant electrode materials for easy comparison to bulk-scale results.
  • Optimized for in situ EDS in a liquid-filled cell.
  • Wide chemical compatibility due to robust gasket materials.
  • No holder disassembly required for cleaning and maintenance.

Triton AX Application Example: Evaluating the kinetics of electroplating at hot and cold temperatures

This videos shows copper plating and stripping on the platinum working electrode of our E-chips at two different temperatures (cold: 5°C and hot: 98 °C) highlighting the possibility of performing electrochemical experiments at a wide range of temperatures [no other in situ TEM holder offers liquid cooling with simultaneous electrochemistry].

With a system like this researcher can study and improve battery performance at extreme temperatures like cold climates, electrocatalytic operation at relevant elevated temperatures, corrosion-resistance at varying temperatures and more.
