Reference electrodes (REs) are a great tool to better understand processes in electrolysis cells at each electrode. By combining the use of REs with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we can analyse and assign overpotentials and degradation processes to specific electrodes. However, REs are tricky to place into a cell with a solid electrolyte and are subject to other constraints such as operation with pressurized gases and geometric clearance. Also, EIS measurements are easily affected by perturbations and noise which can lead to non-interpretable results. This is especially difficult when using reference electrode setups.

This webinar will give an intro on the usefulness of reference electrodes in different electrolysis applications, possible setups and exemplary use cases.…
