Description

Constant potential rectifier capable of detecting micro-current signal
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of advanced characterization instruments, and particularly relates to a potentiostat capable of detecting a microcurrent signal.
Background
The potentiostat is an important characterization test instrument for the research in the advanced science and technology fields of energy conversion, energy storage, corrosion, impedance and the like, can accurately characterize the electrochemical reaction in the energy conversion or storage process, and the test of a three-electrode system can independently and accurately control the absolute potential on a working electrode, thereby having important significance for promoting the advanced development of the new energy field.
The current commercial potentiostat has high cost, larger size and more biased functions to common application. The increase in demand for electrochemical detection has driven a new era in the development of personalized self-made instruments. The design ideas of the current self-made electrochemical instrument mainly comprise the following three types: 1) The portable electrochemical detection embedded system designed by Kwakye et al (Sensors and Actuators B: chemical, 2007, 123 (1): 336-343.), KAUSTat (2019 IEEE Sensors. IEEE, 2019: 1-4.) designed by Ahmad et al provides a small electrochemical instrument design for health monitoring or some other wearable and other uses; 2) ChepStat (Plos one, 2011, 6 (9): e 23783) developed by Rowe et al), a potentiostat (Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2012, 32 (1): 309-313)) designed by Friedman et al, which is cost-effective and available on-site, and GN Meloni, which designs a cheap and versatile electrochemistry based on Arduino UNO, can be used for simple electrochemical teaching and training experiments (J. Chem. Educ. 2016, 93, 7, 1320-1322), which saves instrument cost at the expense of hardware performance; 3) Functional potentiostat circuits for specific detection or connection to other devices, including Dstat (PloS one, 2015, 10 (10): e 0140349.) developed by Michael D.M.Dryden and Aaron R.Wheeler for electrical analysis and integration, potentiostats developed by Dobbeleare for thin film battery characterization (HardwareX, 2017, 2: 34-49.), UWED (Analytical chemistry, 2018, 90 (10): 6240-6246.) manufactured by Ainla et al that can be used for smart phone wireless manipulation, and paper potentiostats designed by Taheria, mehdi et al for bacterial electrochemical research (omega, 2020, 5 (38): 24717-24723.). The above work provides many valuable designs for homemade electrochemical instruments, but all focus on electrochemical measurement on millimeter-scale electrodes, and cannot realize the test of extremely small micro-current signals, so that the intrinsic characterization of real material signals or chemical reactions cannot be realized.
Microelectrode electrochemistry provides a powerful means for people to explore the microstructure of substances, because when the size of an electrode is reduced from millimeter level to micrometer level or even nanometer level, the electrode shows many excellent electrochemical characteristics different from that of a conventional size electrode (ACS sensors, 2019, 4 (9): 2403-2411.). Microelectrodes have found numerous applications in scientific research fields such as electrochemical analysis (Environmental science & technology, 1995, 29 (3): 751-761., analytical Chemistry, 2002, 74 (6): 1322-1326.), neuroscience (Nature, 1958, 182 (4640): 962-962, MRS, 37 (6): 590-598.), cytobiochemistry (Accounts of chemical research, 2014, 47 (8): 2417-2425, omega, 2021, 6 (10): 6571-6581.), energy science (applied materials & interfaces, 2018, 10 (29): 73-245782.) and the like. Generally, in order to realize the acquisition and analysis of the micro-current, expensive import professional instruments need to be purchased, or an external circuit expansion module needs to be specially configured, so that the accurate test of the micro-current signal can be realized. Glasscott M W, verber M D developed sweet pottat (j. Chem. Educ. 2020, 97, 1, 265-270) based on a two-electrode system, microelectrode applicability, but the two-electrode system gave far less control over the working electrode potential than the three-electrode system.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and do not limit the invention.
Thus, a feature indicated in this specification will serve to explain one of the features of one embodiment of the invention and does not imply that every embodiment of the invention must have the explained feature. Further, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although some features may be combined to show a possible system design, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly described. Thus, the combinations illustrated are not intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified.
The principles and construction of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.
Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a potentiostat capable of detecting microcurrent signals, which includes a three-electrode testing system, a microcontroller, a first low-pass filter circuit, a second low-pass filter circuit, a potentiostat circuit, and a transimpedance amplifier circuit.
The three-electrode test system is a detection system consisting of three electrodes and comprises a Counter Electrode (CE), a Reference Electrode (RE) and a Working Electrode (WE), wherein the working electrode adopts a microelectrode. When the electrochemical cell is detected, a driving signal needs to be sent to a counter electrode and a reference electrode of a three-electrode testing system through a microcontroller, then the three-electrode testing system can generate a sampling signal, namely a micro-current, on a working electrode of the three-electrode testing system, and the micro-current signal can be reversely calculated through the signal received by the microcontroller, so that the electrochemical cell is analyzed.
In the invention, a first low-pass filter circuit and a constant potential circuit are sequentially connected between a reference electrode and a counter electrode of a microcontroller to three-electrode testing system, and a second low-pass filter circuit and a transimpedance amplification circuit are sequentially connected between a working electrode of the three-electrode testing system and the microcontroller. Through the mutual cooperation of a plurality of circuits and the circuit principle, the microcontroller can calculate the voltage of a driving signal received by the three-electrode testing system from an excitation signal sent by the microcontroller, and can reversely calculate the micro-current generated by a working electrode on the three-electrode testing system according to the received signal, so as to be used for analyzing the electrochemical cell.
In order to facilitate data processing, an analog-to-digital converter and a digital-to-analog converter are arranged in the microcontroller, the analog-to-digital converter is used for performing analog-to-digital conversion on an excitation signal output by the microcontroller, and the digital-to-analog converter is used for performing digital-to-analog conversion on a signal received by the microcontroller. The specific model can adopt an application development board or a single chip microcomputer with an analog-digital converter, a digital-analog converter or Teensy, arduino and the like capable of outputting pulse width modulation signals, or can adopt one or a plurality of combinations in a microcomputer chip externally connected with a digital-analog conversion chip.
The working principle of the invention is as follows: the microcontroller is communicated with the PC end through the USB serial port, and parameters such as a voltage scanning interval, a voltage scanning speed, the number of sampling points, a sampling interval and the like required by the three-electrode testing system are set from the PC end;
after receiving the instruction, the microcontroller outputs the excitation signal through the analog-to-digital converter, the excitation signal is filtered by the first low-pass filter circuit to obtain a low-noise voltage signal and is transmitted to the constant voltage circuit, and the constant voltage circuit converts the signal into a voltage signal negative value set by the PC end and outputs the voltage signal negative value at the reference electrode;
the working electrode is a microelectrode, and one end of the working electrode is connected with the virtual point of the operational amplifier, so that the signal of the working electrode is compared with the signal of the reference electrode, namely the voltage signal set by the PC end (namely the driving signal in the foregoing). Because the electrochemical reaction occurs due to the voltage difference applied to the working electrode, almost no current flows through the reference electrode, and thus the current of the electrochemical reaction flows from the working electrode to the counter electrode.
The current signal is extremely weak, is subjected to noise reduction through a second low-pass filter circuit, is converted into a corresponding voltage signal through a transimpedance amplification circuit, is input into a microcontroller through a digital-to-analog converter, and is transmitted back to a PC (personal computer) end through a USB (universal serial bus) serial port for analysis.
