Sean Ashton's doctoral thesis, which he finished at the Technical
University in Munich, describes the challenge of constructing a
Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometer instrument (DEMS).
DEMS combines an electrochemical cell with mass spectrometry via a
membrane interface, allowing gaseous and volatile electrochemical
reaction species to be monitored online. The thesis carefully
introduces the fuel cell electrocatalyst development concerns
before reviewing the pertinent literature on DEMS. This is followed
by the presentation and discussion of the new extended design,
including a thorough characterization of the instrument. The
capabilities of the new setup are demonstrated in two research
studies: The methanol oxidation reaction on Pt and PtRu catalysts,
and the electrochemical corrosion of fuel cell catalyst supports.
Despite both topics having long since been studied, new insights
can be obtained through careful investigations with the new DEMS
instrument that are of great, general interest. The thesis and the
instrument thus show the way for future investigations in the
field.
