Abstract:
A method of depositing and evaluating an electrode material on each of a plurality of working electrodes, comprising:providing a base having a plurality of electrode holders; affixing a working electrode to each of the electrode holders; affixing a housing to each of the electrode holders to define an electrolytic cell for containing an electrolyte; positioning a counter electrode in each electrolytic cell; introducing an electrolyte into each electrolytic cell, each electrolyte containing a material which is capable of being electrolytically deposited on the working electrode; and applying an electrical potential between the working electrode and the count electrode of each electrolytic cell to electrolytically deposit an electrode material onto the working electrode, wherein a first electrode material deposited on a first working electrode is different from a second electrode material deposited on a second working electrode; and evaluating performance characteristics of the electrode material on each working electrode by measuring characteristics of a plurality of electrical circuits comprising the working electrodes.
