Application
All-Solid-State Batteries (ASSB)
Moving from liquid to solid electrolytes brings its own challenges: the low room-temperature conductivity of lithium ceramics, polymers, resins and glass composites, rising impedance at interfaces, and the need to characterize electrode/electrolyte contact under controlled temperature and atmosphere.
Scientific background
Materials conductivity studies are performed with the MTZ-35 impedance analyzer and ITS-e / HTF-1100 temperature control (-40 … 1100 °C); activation energies and phase transitions are determined by temperature-dependent EIS.
For interface characterization and fundamental full-cell studies, the EC-Lab® + VMP-300 combination (EIS up to 7 MHz, EIS quality indicators, Z Fit) is the reference solution.
In proof-of-concept and commercial cell validation stages the VMP-3e (60 V with FlexP), MPG-200 and BCS-900 series are used.
Measurement methods used
