Description

Platinum ink is an excellent conductor of current, which makes it a very useful contact paste. Pt ink is also more suitable for higher temperature applications. It is an excellent reference electrode especially for materials that need to be evaluated at temperatures above 850°C or at 800-850°C for an extended period of time.

This is a great ink for making electrical connections for electrochemical testing of fuel cells, ceramic substrates, electrochemical materials, and metals.

Stirring the ink before use is highly recommended. For best results, the ink should be stirred with a spatula or a sonic wand to achieve an even consistency prior to use.

This ink can be used for screen printing for generating electrical connections for wire attachments.

Tips for Making Electrical Connections

Ensuring a solid connection between your electrodes and current collector is critical for obtaining good test results. Leveraging our experience in electrochemical testing, testing we have we offer the following suggestions for obtaining optimum results with our silver paste product.

Step 1

Cut or punch the metal mesh to the size/geometry that you want to test on your sample.

Step 2

Cut the contact wire to the desired length, with a loop around the perimeter of the mesh with the wire extending past the sample. Place cut mesh in the center of your sample & the looped wire on top of wire mesh.

Step 3

Apply the contact paste around the perimeter of the wire loop, apply a few drops across the mesh for best adhesion strength.

Step 4

Cut and place a straight piece of wire next to the mesh on the sample. Again, cover with ink for adhesion. This will allow for 4 point conductivity testing and a lead for measuring voltage, while the other draws the current.
