Hummingbird Scientific’s dedicated SEM bulk liquid electrochemistry specimen holder, similar to the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Microscopy (XRM) counterparts, uses a real reference electrode (e.g., Ag/AgCl in KCl) and a real counter electrode (e.g., Pt) which allow the user to perform realistic in-situ electrochemistry that is for the first time quantitatively accurate and directly correlates to the industry-scale cells’ electrochemical behavior. This is vastly different from the conventional in-situ liquid cells that use pseudo reference electrodes which are unreliable and present inaccurate electrochemical data. Key characteristics of a new in-situ specimen holder include:

• Replication of electrochemical data to industry-scale cell
• Observation of transient electrochemical behavior in realtime.
