Good device and easy to handle
Electrolysis
I think the product is very useful, but it would be better if the voltage of the counterelectrode (responisble voltage) have a wider range, because sometimes there are distances and memebranes inbetween and a overload occurs. That would be easier with a higher responsible voltage of the counter electrode.

IFC 5000E is great for Li-Ion Battery testing.
Battery characterization
We're using four IFC 5000E for battery characterization and ageing diagnosis in our research battery laboratory. The results of those tests are used to assess the safety of aged/EOL Li-Ion batteries for further sencond life use. We really like the ease of use. You can just connect multiple IFC 5000E to a PC and the software automatically detects and connects them. The software for the experiments is very easy to use. What we'd wish to see for next generation equipment is a ethernet connection.

A great potentiostat in a small form factor
Electrocatalysis research
Easy to use, versatile, and with plenty of experiment scripts, this portable potentiostat is my go-to. Pros: Great capabilities, experiment sequences are easy to build, easy to use, portable, the knowledge database/documentation on Gamry’s website is unparalleled, great customer service, inexpensive, 5 A current. Cons: Short cables (that make for better impedance results, yet can make it hard to reach), the cables are stiff and can get damaged by bending

EIS of difficult samples
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a technique that can be applied to various systems. This white paper is designed to give helpful information for systems that are a bit more challenging to measure. Typical examples would include barrier coatings, very corrosion-resistant materials, and very low impedance samples such as large supercapacitors (on the order of hundreds or thousands of Farads).
Simultaneous half-cell measurements on energy devices
In this application note, Gamry Instruments looks at the dual-electrometer feature in the Interface™ 5000 potentiostat using an equivalent circuit meant to mimic an energy storage device. The dual electrometer allows the user to make a second voltage measurement in addition to the one made by the potentiostat. Effectively, the dual-electrometer feature allows users to make five-electrode measurements.
Characterization of batteries and fuel cells using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
Alternative energy sources are becoming more prevalent as alternatives to fossil fuels become important in the electricity generation equation. Fuel cells and batteries both play their part in this arena for energy storage and conversion. Their success depends on continued improvement in performance. While there are many tools used in the characterization of these devices during all stages of developent, one stands common – electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful technique that is particularly useful for battery and fuel cell development. What makes this technique so powerful is that it is a non-destructive technique that allows you to characterize everything from materials, to cells, to modules, and even full packs.

This application note is Part 3 of the series describing electrochemical techniques for energy-storage devices. It discusses basics of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and introduces Gamry’s EIS techniques by measurements on single electrochemical capacitors (ECs) and stacks.
The Fundamentals of the Potentiostat
In this application note, learn about the fundamentals of the potentiostat - an electronic instrument that controls the voltage difference between a working electrode and a reference electrode. Both electrodes are contained in an electrochemical cell. The potentiostat implements this control by injecting current into the cell through an auxiliary, or counter, electrode.
