Prussian white (PW) is considered one of the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIB), due to its large ion-diffusion channels, facile preparation, and low cost.[1, 2] However, a successful... read more →
In battery research, the use of a reference electrode is a powerful tool for investigating the individual electrode potentials within a full cell. This enables a more detailed understanding and... read more →
The advancement of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) is significantly hindered by a lack of reproducibility and comparability in performance data across research institutions. This issue arises from the absence of standardised... read more →
Determining the impedance of electrode materials in Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) and Sodium-Ion Batteries (SIB) at different states of charge (SOC) is paramount for evaluating battery performance. Especially, a reliable, artefact-free... read more →
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄, LFP) is a well-established cathode material in lithium-ion battery research due to its excellent electrochemical stability, intrinsic safety, non-toxicity, and low cost. Beyond its commercial success,... read more →
New 5000-hour Sample Test Results Some time ago, we demonstrated the outstanding reliability and accuracy of the PAT-Cell, our standard 3-electrode battery test cell, in combination with our PAT-tester-i-16 potentiostat,... read more →
In this work, we present a comparative study on the dilation of standard battery active materials: NCM (111) and graphite. We obtained the half-cell dilations of both electrodes by using the... read more →
In this work, we present a novel approach to investigating the dilation of battery electrode materials under varying pressures applied onto the cell stack. For that, the PAT-Cell Force was... read more →
Further Improve Your Measurements with the New Reed Contact Generation! It may seem inconspicuous, but the reed contact is a central element in every PAT-Core, as it transmits the signal... read more →
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 →
