Battery technology continues to experience massive growth and innovation that is driven by the electrification of everything. Some of the biggest challenges faced in this industry are designing batteries with higher energy and power density, reducing charge times, extending battery lifetimes, and reducing the cost and environmental impact of manufacturing.
Nanoscience Instruments provides seven distinct solutions to scientists involved in battery research:
- Characterize surfaces and individual particles with automated SEM and EDS
- Prepare artifact-free samples for SEM using an Ion Mill
- Construct safer, improved separators with nanofiber materials made by electrospinning
- Characterize wettability using optical tensiometers
- Analyze electrolyte uptake with force tensiometers
- Test batteries with battery cyclers and potentiostats
- Monitor SEI formation in situ by pairing electrochemistry with a quartz crystal microbalance
