Plastic Chip Electrode (PCE): A Low-Cost, Scalable Electrochemical Platform

PCE offers a cost effective, scalable and adaptable alernative to conventional electrochemical platforms, combining durability, ease of manufacturing, and reliable performance in single system. Its self-supporting design minimizees coating failure, ensuring consistent performance and suitability for reliable, repeated use in industrial applications. 

PCE is particularly attractive for industries seeking affordable, robust, and versatile solutions, including hydrogen production (even with raw seawater as feed without desalination), diagonistics, pollutant remediation (e.g. dye degradation), and recovery of valuable suchas gold from industrial waste streams

• Lower cost compared to conventional electrodes
• Eliminating coating related failures (delamination, degradation) as in screen-printed electrode
• Better corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Reduce bubble accumulation during gas-evolving reactions
• More robust than fragile or paste-based electrodes
• Scalable and easy to manufacture
• Stable in seawater and across full pH range
• Adaptable design including bendable variants (under patenting)
