Using Squidstats for Stack Measurements on Batteries or Fuel Cells
This application note introduces the differences between using a serial connection versus a parallel connection when using Squidstats to measure interconnected electrochemical systems.
Using Squidstats To Perform Corrosion Testing On a Metal Coupon
Any Squidstat potentiostat can be a very useful tool for quality control testing and to evaluate new material formulations for corrosion protection.
Application Notes & How-To Guides
​
Introduction to Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
EIS is a popular, powerful measurement method that can be used for anything from routine testing to cutting edge R&D of next-generation electrochemical systems.
Calculating Corrosion Rates From a Tafel Plot
Creating and analyzing a Tafel plot is a powerful and time-tested electrochemical testing method to obtain corrosion data and understand corrosion behaviors.
SLIDESHOW - EIS for Advanced Battery Diagnostics
This 16-slide presentation covers key concepts about running EIS on batteries, analyzing the resulting data, and explaining the differences between EIS and traditional DC measurements.
Running RRDE Experiments with Squidstat Potentiostats
RRDE is commonly used to study many types of convective electrochemical systems. This application note explains how to successfully carry out RRDE measurements with Squidstat potentiostats.
Carrying Out Simultaneous EIS Measurements on Multiple High Current Battery Stacks
This application note is for customers working with multiple high current battery stacks in the range of 400 Ah which require the use of high-current load banks, and parallel EIS measurements using the PAD4 add-on to the Zennium.
IR Drop Compensation with Squidstat Potentiostats
Understanding and correcting the IR drop that occurs to uncompensated ohmic resistance reduces errors in electrochemical measurements.
Understanding and Validating Potentiostat DC Accuracy
This guide explains the fundamental aspects of defining measurement accuracy, and provides a step-by-step list of instructions for validating the DC accuracy of any potentiostat (not just Squidstats!)
SLIDESHOW - Introduction to Potentiostat Design & Engineering
Anyone who has ever wondered about the electrical engineering aspects of potentiostat design & functionality would be well-served to review this 25-slide presentation.
Using Cyclic Voltammetry To Study Redox Reactions
Cyclic Voltammetry is the defining test method potentiostats are designed to perform. There are several key considerations to understand when running CVs on samples.
Accuracy Contour Plots and EIS Accuracy
EIS performance of an instrument is most often communicated through a figure know as an Accuracy Contour Plot. This application note explains how to interpret such figures properly, and to understand what is most important to look for.
SLIDESHOW - Squidstat Setup Guide To Run As A Bipotentiostat for RRDE Experiments
This is a step-by-step guide covering how to setup two Squidstat potentiostats in a bipotentiostat configuration to run RRDE experiments in the Squidstat User Interface software.
