RVC Mesh Glassy Carbon Electrode — 3D Porous Glassy Carbon (10–100 PPI), High Surface Area
Quick Facts
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Product Name | RVC Mesh Glassy Carbon Electrode |
| Material | Reticulated Vitreous Carbon (3D porous glassy carbon) |
| Key Features | High chemical stability, high surface area, conductive, lightweight |
| Specs | Open porosity >90%, 10–100 PPI, 0.5–10 m²/g, 0.05–0.5 g/cm³, ~40–80 μΩ·m |
Product Overview
Reticulated Vitreous Carbon (RVC) is a 3D open‑cell porous glassy carbon that combines the chemical inertness of glassy carbon with a very high surface area. The open, interconnecting network promotes mass transfer and provides abundant reaction sites, making RVC an excellent 3D electrode for electrochemical applications.
Typical pore density is 10–100 PPI with total porosity above 90%. RVC is lightweight (0.05–0.5 g/cm³), electrically conductive (~40–80 μΩ·m), chemically resistant to strong acids/alkalis, and stable at high temperatures under inert atmospheres.
Key Features
- 3D open‑cell network with >90% porosity and 10–100 PPI
- High surface area: ~0.5–10 m²/g (dependent on pore density)
- Electrical conductivity comparable to graphite (~40–80 μΩ·m)
- Chemical resistance to strong acids (HCl, H₂SO₄) and bases (NaOH)
- Low density: ~0.05–0.5 g/cm³; excellent mass‑transfer characteristics
- High‑temperature tolerance in inert gas (>1000 °C; up to ~2000 °C short‑term); oxidizes gradually >300 °C in air
Applications
- Electrochemistry: Electrolysis (H₂/O₂), electrosynthesis, electroplating, pollutant degradation
- Batteries / Fuel Cells: Gas diffusion electrodes, catalyst support, microbial fuel cells
- Biomed / Sensing: Enzyme‑ or nano‑modified RVC for detection of glucose, H₂O₂, etc.
- Tissue scaffolds (research): Porous support for cell growth (surface modification recommended)
Pretreatment & Optional Modifications
- Cleaning / Activation: Acid wash (1 M HCl or HNO₃, ~1 h), then ultrasonic cleaning in acetone → ethanol → DI water (10 min each) to remove residues.
- Surface Modification (optional): Electrodeposition of noble metals (Pt, Ag), or coating with conductive polymers (e.g., polyaniline) to enhance activity.
- Handling: RVC is relatively brittle (compressive strength ~0.1–10 MPa); avoid mechanical shock.
