NOVONIX Ultra-High Precision Coulometry Cyclers (UHPC) 2A

Introducing the NOVONIX Ultra-High Precision Coulometry Cyclers (UHPC) 2A

The method of Ulta-High precision coulometry was first introduced to the scientific community by Dr. Jeff Dahn’s lab at Dalhousie University in 2010. NOVONIX’s founding members have been involved in this project since inception and have a thorough understanding of the requirements of the equipment, benefits of the technique and analysis of the data. At the time, there were no commercially available systems that met the specifications to make meaningful measurements of the coulombic efficiency of cells to the level of accuracy needed to reliably compare high-performance cells. Therefore, custom equipment was built in the lab to meet these requirements.

Precise measurements of the coulombic efficiency of a cell using the proper equipment have been shown to have enormous benefits to battery R&D projects, allowing researchers to characterize lifetime and evaluate the impact of small changes to battery design on long-term performance in short-term experiments. With this expertise, NOVONIX was established to develop battery testing systems specifically catered to precision measurements of coulombic efficiency. As companies develop better cell technologies, the use of high precision cycler systems allows for comparison measurements of cell performance in only a few weeks, instead of months or years of long-term cycling. NOVONIX’s high precision cycler systems have been shown to measure the coulombic efficiency of cells to typically less than 10 ppm precision and 50 ppm accuracy. NOVONIX offers both testing services and equipment sales to help customers get the most out of their use of Ultra-High precision coulometry techniques.

Key Features

OVONIX’s Ultra-High Precision Cycler systems provide industry-leading low noise and high accuracy source and measurement electronics catered to making precision measurements, including Coulombic Efficiency (CE).

It is critical when evaluating lithium-ion cells to have high precision (low noise) and high accuracy to ensure measurements are reliable and repeatable. Novonix’s Ultra-High Precision cycler systems allow for comparison measurements of cell performance in only a few weeks instead of months or years of long-term cycling. When used with a properly controlled temperature, these systems are capable of measuring Coulombic Efficiency with a precision of 20 ppm and accuracy of 50 ppm.

Key Benefits

Due to the long lifetime demanded of sustainable technologies, high accuracy, high precision testing is needed to enable reliable predictions of the lifetime of batteries within a short period of time. It is critical when evaluating cells to have high precision and high accuracy to enable measurements that are reliable and repeatable.
