A comprehensive suite of techniques, developed by the leaders in this field for over 20 years are available. Solartron Analytical recognized that many users are unfamiliar to many of these techniques and therefore, at the heart of the product concept is the ability to analyze much of the data at one click of the mouse! No previous knowledge of frequency domain technique required. For the experienced user, the ModuLab offers the ability to build and develop new experiment types with the powerful step sequencer. The highlights of the system include:
Range of Frequency and Time Domain Measurements techniques including IMPS, IMVS, Impedance, PhotoVoltage Decay, Charge Extraction Techniques , I-V
‘Auto’ analysis of data enabled for calculation of effective Diffusion coefficients and Electron Lifetimes at one click of a button. Suitable for users new to Frequency Domain Techniques
NIST traceable Light Source calibration routine
Excellent thermal management of light sources for long term stability
Wide range of Monochromatic high brightness LED’s available
Full suite of Electrochemical Techniques including Cyclic Voltmmetry, Chrono – Methods, Galvano methods and comprehensive list of Impedance and AC Voltammetry Methods
Auxiliary Channel Measurements for simultaneous determination of anode and cathode impedance and voltages
Solartron Analytical FRA technology inside including single, swept and Multi-sine techniques.
Comprehensive Techniques Package
A dedicated suite of software specifically developed for testing photo-electrochemical devices is included:
Intensity Modulated Photocurrent Spectroscopy – IMPS
Intensity Modulated Photovoltage Spectroscopy – IMVS
Impedance Spectroscopy
I-V
Charge Extraction Methods
Short Circuit
Dark Charge Extraction
Photo Voltage Decay
Enhanced Productivity
With the ability to auto-sequence techniques, the full suite of measurement possibilities can be run at a click of the mouse. Unlike other systems, the ModuLab DSSC was designed to allow all measurements to be run in sequence without any interference from the end user. This greatly increases productivity and ease of use.
Auto – Analysis
Detailed Analysis of DSSC’s Has Never Been Easier
Data can be auto-analyzed with pre-programed algorithms. Data is presented in graphical format allowing researchers to quickly evaluate their samples and provide in-depth information that is unavailable with simple I-V curve analysis alone.
Other Techniques
The system is delivered with 4 AUX voltage measurement channels. These channels are included specifically to enable the measurement of the internal quasi Fermi level of the DSSC.
The system can also be configured to work with third party systems such as solar simulators and monochromators to extend measurement possibilities to:
Full Sun I-V simulations
IPCE measurements
