NOVONIX uses its expertise in engineering, metrology, and electrochemistry to offer industry leading R&D services.
Our team of scientists and engineers can help with cell design and prototyping, cell performance testing, and analysis services for customers developing battery chemistries in various form factors. These can be used to compare their products against existing benchmarks and/or to understand their product performance at deeper levels. With a team of world-class battery experts, an R&D-scale manufacturing cell-line, and a sizeable testing lab, NOVONIX is leading the way in the most urgent and innovative research projects.
Testing and evaluation
NOVONIX offers an extensive range of advanced testing, diagnostic tools, and in-house electrochemical performance testing to accelerate customers’ battery research and development. NOVONIX tests custom or commercial cells to determine longevity quickly, using our world-leading UHPC testing equipment.
With 2,000+ channels and thermal chambers available, we also offer testing on traditional cycler types to evaluate cells under specific use profiles and application-specific conditions.
We currently offer many testing services such as:
- Ultra-High Precision Coulometry (UHPC) cycling
- Cycle life testing
- Calendar aging tests
- Performance (HPPC, DCIR, etc.) and rate testing
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements
- Gassing and gas volume studies
- Evaluation and selection of cell suppliers and manufacturers
