Today, we want to show how our new mesh-type reference electrodes for PAT series battery test cells can be used to minimize measurement artifacts. The new mesh-type references are made of stainless steel and come in fine and coarse variants. Both have the same web width of 50 µm and web thickness of 25 µm but different mesh sizes. You will get the mesh ready assembled into our standard PP single-use sleeve. When assembling the cell, glass fiber separators are attached to the mesh, one on each side. In both cases, they must first be coated with a suitable material to convert it into a reference electrode. How is this done? One option is to coat the mesh with an active material such as LFP. A second possibility is to plate the mesh with lithium metal from one of the two sandwich electrodes in situ. Fortunately, the latter case can be easily done using our PAT-Tester potentiostats. Head over to our website, where we discuss all the necessary steps for assembly and lithiation of the mesh and the test results showing this application's advantages and disadvantages: https://lnkd.in/eqzSN5CZ #batterytesting #electrochemistry #lithiumionbatteries #batteryresearch #elcell #laboratory #batteries

Comparing Seal Materials: When should I use aluminum or PE seals? The battery test cells in the PAT series are characterized by their high impermeability to the outside atmosphere. This increases the long-term stability of the cell chemistry and enables long-term measurements over several thousand hours. When designing the PAT-Cell, the number of seals was reduced as much as possible to limit potential leaks. The lid seal is, therefore, crucial for the cell’s tightness. Lid seals are available in different materials. In addition to the standard seals made of PE, we also offer an aluminum version. But when should you use which seal? We tested several PAT-Cells with PE and aluminum sealing rings for approximately 400 hours to answer this question and compared their results. We paid particular attention to capacity retention and coulomb efficiency. After 400 hours, we measured an excellent Coulomb Efficiency of over 99.8% with aluminum seals compared to the 99.6% of the PE seals. A look at the capacity retention also shows the advantages of the aluminum seal with a longer test duration. After 400 hours, it is still over 98%, while the cells with PE seals range between 97-98%. The test results show excellent performance of PAT-Cells with aluminum lid seals. Therefore, we strongly recommend using metal seals, especially for long-term and all experiments in which the gas pressure is measured. For all other applications, however, the standard lid seal made of PE is still a very good choice, performing very similarly in experiments with shorter durations.

Don't miss Bernhard's presentation at the 245th ECS Meeting in San Francisco! Bernhard Bugenhagen will share the latest research results about "An Integrated New Method for the Characterisation of Thickness Changes in Battery Active Materials during Cyclisation Under Pressure." This work, conducted in collaboration with his colleague Annika Baumann, shows our efforts to expand the abilities of the PAT-Cell-Force battery test cell to open new possibilities for battery researchers. The presentation will be held on Tuesday, May 28th, 1500-1520 PDT, at Salon 3/4, B3 Level (Marriott Marquis San Francisco) (A02-0243). If you are interested in more details, you can read the abstract on the ECS Meeting homepage or visit us after the presentation at booth 109. https://lnkd.in/e_jcftH2 Visit our homepage to learn more about the PAT-Cell-Force battery test cell: https://lnkd.in/e8Jvs5AF #batterytesting #electrochemistry #lithiumionbatteries #batteryresearch #elcell #ecs #laboratory
