Electrocatalysis sits at the intersection of electrochemistry and materials science, focusing on reactions that occur at electrode surfaces.

Electrocatalytic studies are central to the development and optimisation of technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolysis and CO₂ reduction. Understanding these processes requires real-time measurement of gaseous and volatile reaction products as they form, helping researchers evaluate catalyst activity, reaction pathways and overall electrochemical performance.

Overview

Overview

Next-generation electrocatalytic studies focus on understanding and optimising reactions that occur at the interface between an electrolyte and an electrode, where the electrode can act as both electron donor/acceptor and catalyst.

At Hiden Analytical, we have developed high-performance mass spectrometry solutions for characterising complex heterogeneous electrochemical reactions. Our DEMS and OEMS systems support real-time analysis of gaseous, volatile and dissolved species, helping researchers investigate catalyst activity, reaction pathways and electrochemical performance.

Real-Time Reaction Pathway Analysis

Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) and on-line electrochemical mass spectrometry techniques enable direct sampling of electrocatalytic processes as they occur. By correlating electrochemical behaviour with mass signals from species such as oxygen, hydrogen, peroxides and other reaction intermediates, researchers can gain deeper insight into reaction kinetics, selectivity and potential hysteresis behaviour.

These insights support the development of improved electrocatalysts for applications including fuel cells, water electrolysis, CO₂ reduction and biomass-derived feedstock conversion.

Hiden Analytical’s DEMS systems are engineered for simple user-friendly analysis of critical redox parameters. Contact us today for more information about the systems we provide for leading electrolysis and electrocatalytic studies.
