Split Test Cell with Quartz Window for Battery Electrode In-situ Raman Analysis: Optional Insert Size & Au Coating - STC-QW

EQ-STC-QW split-able test cell is designed for R&D of rechargeable battery material. A 16.8 mm Dia. quartz window on its bottom allows in-situ Raman analysis of battery material phase transition during charging and discharging. Such a cell can accept various sizes (19, 20, and 24 mm diameter) of electrodes and separators and test the electrodes easily and quickly.
Note: Customized (Au coated) test cells are non-returnable and non-exchangeable.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Features	Electrolyte corrosive-proof PTFE Guide Sleeve capable of withstanding up to 250 ºC. (Please select the size of the PTFE sleeve I.D. at Product Options: 5,10,12,15,19,20,and 24 mm)  Sealed by electrolyte corrosive-proof PTFE O-rings. A 6 mm height spacer inside the test cell to press down on the electrode and prevent the electrode from curling. Small enough to be put in and taken out from a glove box. Easy to separate and clean after testing. Same functionality to "Swagelok Coin Cell" but with more size options for electrode and separator and also the proper dimensions for glove box compatibility.

Application Notes	For In-situ Laser Raman Spectroscopy, the typical wavelength used is ranging from ultra-violet (244 nm~364 nm) to near infrared (785 nm~1064 nm). The quartz observation window we used can provide  >80% light-throughput for this wavelength range. For better in-situ observation, electrode material shall face the window.  you may use lab press and dry pressing die below to prepare an electrode pellet instead of using electrode coated Al or Cu foil. Optional: Purchase a vacuum pen for easy component placement.
