A potentiostat is the foundational instrument that enables electrochemical research and it forms the basis of HQP training in electrochemistry. A research grade potentiostat that is highly capable is requested in order to replace two failed potentiostats which have created significant bottlenecks and delays in academic and industry sponsored research projects. These projects require advanced electrochemical measurements which have to adapt to a wide range of currents (from nA to A) and are capable of performing a large variety of electrochemical measurements from simple to advanced. The potentiostat will be used for battery studies, electrodeposition and biosensor research impacting three research groups with over 10 HQP requiring access to its advanced capabilities (e.g., EIS). This potentisotat will replace a failed unit that is no longer serviced due to its age (>25 yrs old). Over this time, more than 30 HQP have used these potentiostats for their thesis research and industrial sponsored research. A number of research projects (fundamental and industry collaborations) have been delayed or suspended waiting for the replacement instrument. The equipment requested will be housed in a multi-disciplinary research building, which has enabled use on a diverse range of projects with electrical, materials, and chemical engineers in addition to physicists who work on solid state electrochemical devices. The advanced capabilities of the new potentiostat will encourage use from HQP with complex electrochemical questions, significantly broadening the scope of its impact. HQP that are trained in these advanced methods will be in high demand as Canadian society shifts towards more electrification to meet our climate change commitments.

PotentioStat是实现电化学研究的基础工具，它构成了电化学中HQP培训的基础。为了取代两个失败的电位静脉曲张，该研究级的电位能力很高，这在学术和行业赞助的研究项目中造成了重大的瓶颈和延误。这些项目需要高级电化学测量，必须适应各种电流（从NA到A），并且能够执行从简单到高级的各种电化学测量。 该电位仪将用于电池研究，电沉积和生物传感器研究，影响三个研究小组，其中超过10 hqp需要访问其高级功能（例如，EIS）。由于年龄> 25岁），该电位静脉曲张将替换不再维修的失败单元。在这段时间里，超过30个HQP使用了这些电位抑制剂进行论文研究和工业赞助的研究。许多研究项目（基本和行业合作）已被推迟或暂停等待替代工具。所要求的设备将安置在多学科研究大楼中，该研究大楼还可以在具有电气，材料和化学工程师的各种项目上使用，除了从事固态电化学设备的物理学家。新电位的高级功能将鼓励HQP使用复杂的电化学问题，从而大大扩大其影响的范围。接受这些高级方法培训的HQP将满足需求，因为加拿大社会转向更具电气化来满足我们的气候变化承诺。
