Description

Western University seeks to procure an electrochemical flow cell for a high-resolution transmission electron microscope and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy. The system should operate at room temperature with aqueous electrolytes of pH 3-10 and possibly some organic electrolytes. It must be user-friendly, robust for ultra-high vacuum systems, minimize bubble formation, and be compatible with both the Canadian Light Source and Western University facilities. The research focus is on corrosion and interfacial phenomena in battery research. The budget is CAD $144,000 plus HST, and delivery is expected in Fall 2026.
