Glassy Carbon Rotating Disk Electrode (GC RDE)

GC Rotating Disk Electrode (RDE) The Glassy Carbon Rotating Disk Electrode (GC RDE) from ScienceGears is designed for high-precision kinetic and mechanistic electrochemical studies under controlled hydrodynamic conditions. The inert and smooth glassy carbon surface ensures excellent reproducibility, low background current, and chemical stability across a wide potential window, making it ideal for both aqueous and non-aqueous systems.

Principle of Operation

The RDE system generates a laminar flow of electrolyte toward the electrode surface through controlled rotation. This allows quantitative evaluation of diffusion-limited currents and electron-transfer kinetics. The glassy carbon disk provides a chemically inert and stable substrate suitable for surface modification, catalyst deposition, and electrochemical cleaning.

Key Specifications

  • Electrode Material: High-purity glassy carbon disk
  • Disk Diameter: 5 mm standard (custom sizes available)
  • Body Material: PTFE or PEEK for solvent and chemical resistance
  • Electrical Contact: Gold-plated connector for stable conductivity
  • Surface Finish: Polished to mirror finish for low background noise

Applications

Ideal for:

  • Electrocatalyst characterisation and ORR/OER studies
  • Fuel cell and redox mediator evaluation
  • Battery electrode testing and sensor calibration
  • Electropolymerisation and thin-film deposition research
