The ideal test cell for high-throughput battery testing.
The PAT-Cell is a test cell for 2- and 3-electrode measurements on battery materials. It uses the
modular PAT-Core concept and can therefore be used for a variety of test purposes. The cell has no wiring
but is inserted directly into a PAT battery tester or connected to any commercially available battery tester /
potentiostat via a PAT docking station. The easy handling is further improved by features such as the
integrated PAT-Button. This patented*, electronic memory in the cell bottom enables automatic cell
recognition when the cell is inserted into a PAT battery tester.
The PAT-Cell is equally suitable for automated high-thoughput scenarios and small-scale test series.
Advantage testing with reference electrode: By monitoring the cell voltage and cell current of the battery, you
can learn a lot about the performance and ageing of the battery as a whole.However, a battery comprises two
electrodes connected in series: cathode and anode. Which of the two is the bottleneck for charge transfer?
Which electrode is dying off first?
Testing with a reference electrode answers these questions because the voltage and impedance of both half
cells can be measured simultaneously. This makes it easy to see how the two electrodes behave individually.
