Product Summary
The Detachable Cell Testing Device is a crucial piece of Precision Instrumentation for electrochemists and battery researchers. It provides a robust, reusable, and easily assembled platform for conducting highly reliable and reproducible electrochemical measurements.
These devices, often utilizing a Swagelok-type or specialized compression design, allow researchers to quickly and accurately test the performance of new materials and half-cells in a controlled environment. The key benefit of the detachable design is the ease of disassembly and post-test analysis of the electrodes and separators, which is critical for understanding material degradation and failure mechanisms.
Primary Applications
New Energy Research:
Electrode Material Screening: Used for rapid, controlled testing of new anode, cathode, and solid-state electrolyte materials (e.g., Lithium, Sodium, Zinc-ion) in half-cell or full-cell configurations.
Electrolyte Optimization: Testing the stability and performance of various liquid, gel, or solid electrolytes.
Cycle and Rate Testing: Performing basic charge/discharge cycling, C-rate performance evaluation, and long-term stability studies.
Materials Chemistry & Functional Surfaces:
Electrocatalyst Testing: Employed to test the activity and stability of electrocatalysts (e.g., for HER, OER, CO₂ reduction) by allowing easy integration with working and counter electrodes.
Corrosion Studies: Used for setting up precise electrochemical cells for corrosion rate and material degradation analysis.
Advantages for Electrochemical Research
Reproducibility: The standardized, fixed internal geometry ensures consistent current distribution and accurate potential measurements, leading to highly reproducible data.
Post-Mortem Analysis: The easy-to-disassemble structure facilitates the recovery of electrodes and separators for detailed post-test characterization (e.g., SEM, XRD).
Versatility: Accommodates two-electrode (symmetric or full cell) and three-electrode (with reference electrode) configurations, offering comprehensive testing capabilities.
Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from high-purity, chemically inert materials to prevent contamination or degradation from aggressive electrolytes.
