PCE-66MX Compact UV-Ozone Cleaner with Stirring and Heating up to 150°C for Powder Sample Treatment
The PCE-66MX is engineered to address the challenge of removing organic contaminants and modifying surface properties of powder samples, which is critical for improving sintering processes and coating adhesion in advanced material research. This compact UV-ozone cleaner integrates ultraviolet irradiation with ozone generation, stirring, and heating functions to provide a controlled environment for surface treatment of powders such as colloidal nanocrystals and battery cathode materials.
By combining UV light at wavelengths of 185 nm and 254 nm with ozone, the device effectively decomposes molecular-level contaminants on sample surfaces. The stirring mechanism ensures uniform exposure of powders by continuously mixing the sample during treatment. Heating up to 150°C with precise PID control further enhances cleaning efficiency and surface modification, enabling applications such as ligand removal, tuning oxygen vacancy concentrations, and preventing microcrack formation in battery electrodes.
