Professors of Chemistry Develop Money-Saving Electrolysis Cell

April 28, 2015

Samuel Abegaz and Rajeev Dabke, associate professors of chemistry at Columbus State University, have developed a new electrolysis cell that will reduce the amount of time and money required to prepare reagents, or mixtures commonly used for chemical analysis, in undergraduate labs. Their cell eliminates the need for expensive coulometers and constant current power supplies. The professors’ work was published in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Chemical Education, available online at http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/ed5001763 and http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/ed5008348.
