Our battery laboratory is equipped with advanced instrumentation for comprehensive electrochemical characterization and the evaluation of battery performance. The key systems include 3 high-precision (single-channel and multi-channel) Autolab Potentiostats/Galvanostats and a Neware Battery Testing Systems with more than 200 channels for programmable testing of batteries and electrochemical cells. The systems are compatible with a variety of battery formats, including coin cells, pouch cells, and custom configurations, making them highly adaptable for both fundamental studies and applied energy storage research.
Autolab Potentiostat/Galvanostat
The Autolab system provides high-resolution control and analysis of electrochemical processes, supporting a wide range of techniques for investigating materials and interface phenomena. The core capabilities of Autolab Potentiostat/Galvanostat include:
- Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) – analysis of redox behavior and reaction mechanisms.
- Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) – characterization of charge transfer resistance, double-layer capacitance, and ion diffusion dynamics.
- Chronoamperometry / Chronopotentiometry – investigation of time-resolved electrochemical processes.
- Galvanostatic Charge/Discharge Cycling – evaluation of electrode performance, capacity retention, and Coulombic efficiency.
- EQCM Measurements – real-time mass monitoring during electrochemical reactions, ideal for studying electrodeposition and dissolution processes, adsorption/desorption phenomena, electrode/electrolyte interface dynamics in battery systems.
Neware Battery Testing System
The Neware system provides flexible and accurate battery performance testing across a broad range of chemistries and formats. It is designed for both routine cycling and advanced diagnostic testing under controlled conditions. The battery testers enable the following features:
- Charge–Discharge Cycling – capacity, energy efficiency, and cycle life analysis.
- Rate Capability Testing – evaluation of performance under variable current loads.
- Long-Term Stability Testing – aging and degradation studies over extended cycles.
- Multi-Channel Operation – parallel testing of multiple cells under identical or independent protocols.
- Temperature-Controlled Testing (with environmental chamber integration) – thermal performance analysis under variable environmental conditions.
