Description

Testing lab is aimed to the electrochemical characterization of any type of products (i.e. battery materials, batteries, super-capacitors, fuel cells, etc.) and chemistries. Testing equipment are useful for a wide range of applications such as: Materials Research Portable Electronic Devices Research & Development Battery Pack Assembly Super-Capacitor Testing Fuel Cell Testing Energy storage testing.

EQUIPMENT:

MACCOR BATTERY TESTER - 192 CHANNELS
Configure
The electrochemical lab is also equipped with a Series 4000 model battery tester. It is fully equipped with 192 channels; 166 for coin cell and 26 cables.

BIOLOGIC - 6 X BIOLOGIC VMP3
64 normal channels
28 EIS channels
5 low I channels
3 high I channels
Multichannel potentiostats (with PITT protocol) / galvanostats (with GITT protocol) with low current options, amplifiers and impedance measurement. The system are composed by an integrated sine wave generator and frequency response analyzer built onto the plug-in potentiostat module. These equipments allow working with the following techniques:

CLIMATIC CHAMBER - VOTSCH 7400
The climatic chamber (model VT7004) is appropriate to test cells at a constant temperature when it is critical in the performance and also to analize the effect of the temperature.
