Applications
Corrosion Electrochemistry
CS potentiostats/galvanostats support a variety of electrochemical techniques for corrosion, such as OCP recorder, potentiodynamic, EIS, cyclic polarization (CPP), LPR, hydrogen diffusion test, zero resistance ammeter (ZRA), electrochemical noise (ECN), etc.
Due to their high input impedance(1013Ω), they are especially suitable for EIS measurement of high-impedance systems like coating, concrete, and pure water.

Energy & Battery Testing
With versatile functions like linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), EIS(including potentiostatic and galvanostatic modes) with precise IR compensation, CS potentiostats are widely used in supercapacitor, Li-ion batteries, Li-S batteries, fuel cell, solar cell, solid-state batteries, flow batteries, and metal-air batteries, etc.

Electrocatalysis
Based on CV and LSV techniques, CS potentiostats can carry out long-term tests for ORR, OER, HER, and CO2 reduction, which is crucial for evaluating catalyst stability. In addition, the CS2350M bi-potentiostat and multichannel potentiostat specialize in Faradaic efficiency synchronous measurement.
CS potentiostats can measure the half-wave potential (ORR) and overpotential (HER, OER) of catalysts and calculate the power density and energy density of Redox peaks.

Analytical Electrochemistry
CS potentiostats include comprehensive voltammetric methods such as NPV, DPV, DNPV, SWV, and ACV, which make them ideal for quantitative analysis of trace elements via the intrinsic Voltammetry stripping techniques.

Technical Advantages
Switchable floating and earthing mode
All CS potentiostats/galvanostats can switch between the floating and earthing modes, and this strategy is beneficial for studying electrochemical systems in which the working electrodes are intrinsically ground, such as autoclaves, in-site concrete structures and multi-working electrodes requiring isolation, etc.
High-bandwidth EIS
with the help of built-in digital FRA and arbitrary signal generator, as well as the high input impedance (1013 W), the CS potentiostat is particularly suitable for EIS measurements of high-impedance systems (such as coating, membrane, concrete, etc.)
Based on the DC bias compensation technique, CS potentiostats can conduct EIS tests under different charge/discharge states of batteries, making them suitable for ultra-low resistance systems, such as power batteries, fuel cells, water-splitting equipment, etc.
Multiple electrode configurations
CS potentiostats support 2-, 3-, or 4-electrode configurations and can measure the galvanic current via built-in zero resistance ammeter circuits.
Independent multiple channels
For CS 310X multi-channel potentiostat, each channel is completely independent. It can be used for the electrochemistry measurements of multiple cells or multiple working electrodes in a cell.
CS2350M Bipotentiostat/multi-channel potentiostat can be used for the RRDE test, dual-cell hydrogen diffusion test.
User-defined sequence test
CS Studio 6.0 for Windows software supports user-defined sequence tests ("combination test"), which can facilitate automatic testing according to user-defined experiment sequences.
Power booster
Through CS2020B/CS2040B/CS2100B booster, the CS potentiostats can extend their output current up to ±20A/40A/100A, meeting the growing requirements in fuel cells, power batteries, electroplating and
Software development kit (SDK)
All CS potentiostats run under the control of CS Studio 6.0 for Windows (CSS 6.0). The CSS6.0 supports third-party languages, such as LabVIEW, C, C++, C#, VC, Python and others. Some API general interfaces and development examples can be supplied with the CS potentiostats. Through the SDK, customers can implement user-defined test methods.
Real-time data saving
CSS 6.0 saves experimental data timely, even if the experiment is accidentally interrupted by a power failure or computer shutdown. CSS 6.0 supports several data formats compatible with Originpro and Microsoft Excel.
Versatile data analysis functions
CSS 6.0 provides robust functions, including various electrochemical measurements and data analysis. It can complete Tafel plot fitting, CV derivation, integration and peak height analysis, EIS equivalent circuit fitting, etc.
