Testing of Battery Materials with Mesh-type Reference Electrodes A long time ago, we advertised to use a finger-type (aka wire-type) reference electrode. Everything we wrote still holds. However, the bad... read more →
Reliability meets Accuracy: Testing with PAT-Cell and PAT-Tester-i-16. We want to show the results of our last long-term measurement (2000 hours) with the PAT-Cell. The PAT-Cell is our reliable... read more →
New cathode and anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LiB) are often tested for their electrochemical performance using lithium metal as the counter electrode. In laboratory language, these configurations are... read more →
This application note is supposed to be the first in a series dealing with the electrochemical testing of materials for lithium-ion batteries (LiB) using the PAT system from EL-CELL. More... read more →
Sometimes a finger-shaped reference electrode can be better than our standard ring-shaped reference electrode. The finger reference measures the electrical potential in the middle of the stack instead of at... read more →
Very often, Li-ion test cells are characterized in two separate experiments: first, constant current charge/discharge cycles are applied in order to learn about the direct current (dc) behavior of the... read more →
