genuine member of the ECC test cell series the ECC-PAT-Core can be

directly connected to a potentiostat.

The ECC-PAT-Core is the ideal Li-ion test cell for small laboratories with

up to 10 test cells running in parallel. It is the right choice to become

familiar with the new PAT-Core concept before using the PAT series to

the full extent.

ECC-PAT-Core


ECC series

The ECC series is a versatile and modular test cell system for battery

research. Almost all cell parts are reusable execpt for the PE-Seals. Most

test cells of the ECC series have the stainless steel bracket in common,

which serves to apply the sealing force.

By manually turning the wing nut on top of the bracket, about one ton of

mechanical pressure is being applied onto the PE-Seal, which is placed

between cell base and lid. This pressure in combination with two cutting

rings on each side of the PE-Seal turns the ECC test cells into a reliable

leak-proof container, which is essential for air and humidity sensiti-

ve battery tests. In contrast to the large sealing pressure, gentle and re-

producible mechanical pressure onto the inside electrode stack is provided

by an internal compression spring (see figure on the right).

As standard, the ECC series test cells are designed for aprotic organic

electrochemical systems such as lithium metal batteries, Li-ion batteries

and aprotic supercapacitors. All materials are carefully chosen and

tested to withstand corrosion and compatibility issues related to

the organic electrolyte solutions in use and to the wide range of po-

tentials applied.

Some of the ECC test cells are also available for common aqueous

electrolytes. The corresponding cells use the ending „Aqu“ within their

names. Current collectors of these cells are made of gold, platinum, glassy

carbon or nickel.

Most ECC test cells share the concept of a point type reference electrode

and a PEEK insulation sleeve inside the cell which serves to align the

two sandwiched electrodes concentrically. This insulation sleeve fea-

tures a tiny feed-through hole that is to be loaded with an appropriate

reference material (lithium metal in most cases). From outside the cell, a

spring-loaded metal pin makes the electronic contact towards the

reference material inside the feed-through hole. Alternatively, the 1

mm metal pin itself can be used as a pseudo reference electrode. Different

materials are available for the metal pin, including stainless steel, ni-

ckel, gold, platinum, magnesium and silver. Stainless steel is the standard

for the aprotic type cells and gold for the aqueous type cells.

All test cells of the ECC series can be operated with a glass fiber separator

available in the thickness range from 0.26 to 1.55 mm. The ECC-Std and

the ECC-PAT-Core can also operate with technical (e.g. polyolefine) separa-

tors having a typical thickness of 25 µm.

A variety of specific tools is available to support the cutting of electrodes,

the assembly of cells with oversized Celgard type separators and the

loading of the feed-through hole with the reference material.

Customized test cellsOur main focus is on lithium-ion batteries, but we also design test cells for other battery technologies.

We can also customize our devices and tools according to your individual purposes and develop solutions for specific experiments – Just ask.

Example:


Our new electrochemical dilatometer is available in two versions, the

ECD-3 and the ECD-3-nano. The two instruments mainly differ in the

resolution and drift stability of the displacement sensor system that is

attached to the electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell is identical

for both versions.

Working PrincipleThe ECD-3 and ECD-3-nano electrochemical dilatometer measure the

thickness change of a working electrode during the electrochemical cy-

cle. The heart of the dilatometer is an electrochemical cell hermetically

Chemical compatibility Aprotic organic electrolytes; optional aqueous electrolytes

Construction materials in media contactAprotic: SS 316L, PEEK, EPDM

Aqueous (optional): Au, PEEK, EPDM

Cell electrolyte volume approx. 1 ml

Temperature range -20 to +70 °C

Electrode configurations 2-electrode, 3-electrode (reference)

Signals recorded by internal USB data acquisition (DL) systemElectrode displacement, cell current,

electrode potentials (WE, CE), temperature, time

Analog outputs for seamless integration with external potentiostat Displacement, temperature

sealed against ambient atmosphere. The working electrode WE and the

counter electrode CE are separated by a stiff glass frit soaked with elec-

trolyte. The upper WE is sealed by means of a flexible metal membrane,

through which any charge-induced thickness change is transmitted to-

wards the sensor/load unit attached on top. The fixation of the glass frit

ensures that only the thickness change of the working electrode is be-

ing detected, without interference from the CE. Optionally, a reference

electrode REF can be placed at the edge of the frit close to the working

electrode.

OptionsVarious add-ons are available for special testing requirements, such as

for using aqueous electrolytes, for using single grains or crystals instead

of bound electrode films and for measuring the thickness change of the

whole battery stack instead of the WE only.

Improvements of ECD-3 Elimination of tubing and external valves reduces the risk of

leakage and saves effort.

Use of special polymer with minimal water absorption reduces

drying effort and accelerates work flow.

Use of a smaller glass frit reduces amount of electrolyte required

(approx. 1 cm3)

Better handling saves time and effort.

ECC-RefLoadTool for conveniently loading lithium metal into the Ref bore

of the ECC-Ref sleeve.

ECC-CellLoadElectrode alignment and assembly tool for use with ECC-Std

The ECC-CellLoad supports building full cells with thin Celgard type se-

parators. The concentric alignment of the two electrodes – with the

oversized separator in between – is the key for electrochemical perfor-

mance and life time.

The ECC-CellLoad is the tool to get that done easily.

The device is basically a small tube (cannula) with a knock-out pin

inside. A tiny piece of lithium metal is first picked up by pressing the

cannula onto a piece of lithium foil. The cannula is then inserted into

the bore of the Ref sleeve, and the lithium inside the cannula is extruded

into the Ref bore by actuating the knock-out pin.

The right picture demonstrates how the lithium metal can be extruded

through the Ref bore forming a thin wire. In practice, push the lithium

just to the inner surface of the Ref sleeve – no more, no less.

EL-CutHigh precision cutting pliers eliminate torn and chipped

electrode edges.

The proper cutting of the electrodes is often an neglected factor in

battery testing. Torn and chipped electrode edges – although invisible

to the bare eye - inevitably cause current inhomogeneity and are thus

likely to affect experimental results. Especially life cycle and impedance

results are prone to such artefacts. Electrodes being cut by conventional

punching (stamping) with only one punch force show chipped edges

and are not plain. In contrast, electrodes being cut (fine blanked) by

the EL-Cut are produced by three active forces and in tools with a few

microns cutting clearance. The fine blanking process results in electrodes

having clean cutting surfaces without torn or chipped edges and being

almost perfectly flat.

The long slot within the tool allows to cut electrodes close to the border

as well as in the middle of the foil.

ECC-StopRailCross hairs reduce cutting waste after mounting

to the EL-Cut.

Don’t waste your precious electrode material! When attached to the

cutting pliers, the crosshairs of the ECC-StopRail enable you to precisely

target the electrode.

The ECC-StopRail is an optional tool for the EL-Cut cutting pliers. The

ECC-StopRail helps to conveniently target the cutting area and to make

effective use of the electrode sheet, and so speed up the cutting process.
