UHPC Equipment
NOVONIX specializes in developing equipment with a strong focus on the use of Ultra-High Precision Coulometry for reliable evaluation of lithium-ion cells.
UHPC 101
NOVONIX’s Ultra-High Precision Coulometry systems provide industry leading low noise and high-accuracy electronics to make precise measurements that are reliable and repeatable.
Benefits of UHPC technology
Accurate Measurements
Allows accurate measurements of electrochemical processes within a cell. This enables non-destructive understanding of how battery chemistry is changing from cycle-to-cycle
Measure Coulombic Efficiency, up to five significant figures, to enable reliable comparisons of cells in a fraction of the time that it would take on other cyclers
Unique Observations
Observe cycle metrics unique to ultra-high precision, such as end-point capacity slippage
Precise Evaluation
Evaluate active material loss, lithium inventory loss, electrolyte oxidation and more
Benefits of NOVONIX equipment
- Our UHPC systems offer current ranges from as low as 100µA, to as high as 20A, allowing precision measurements down to 2nA
- NOVONIX systems can be used like any other battery cycler – for formation, DCIR, HPPC, calendar ageing, cycle ageing, rate testing – but all with improved data quality
- Turnkey, modular systems – including cell holders and thermal chambers – fully racked and ready to use as delivered
- Modern, intuitive, and configurable software
- Designed, built, and supported in North America
- NOVONIX are experts with UHPC equipment. As we continue to pioneer novel battery materials and understanding interactions using our own systems, this experience feeds and guides the design of our UHPC equipment and software
Applications
NOVONIX UHPC systems are fully capable battery cyclers that deliver data in ultra-high precision. This equipment enables creative scientists and engineers to understand their cells in parts per million level of precision.
NOVONIX UHPC systems can be used in a number of applications, including:
Materials Evaluation
Customers working on new materials can utilize UHPC testing to understand how changes to physical properties such as morphology, particle size distribution, surface area, etc. impact the battery performance.
Cell Selection
When conducting cell selection between vendors or cell models, the ability to gather cell performance data at high accuracy in a short time is critical, especially when experiments have many dimensions (temperature, current, voltage windows, cells, etc.).
Environmental Performance Evaluation
Environmental conditions matter when testing cell performance. Learn how cells perform in extreme conditions and minimize failure mechanisms through accurate analysis of metrics such as charge endpoint capacity slippage (caused by electrolyte oxidation, transition metal dissolution, self discharge, and more).
Manufacturing Process Development
Tune process parameters on new or existing production lines – for new or existing recipes – and guarantee the repeatability of a manufacturing process to quickly gain confidence in the process.
Battery Management Optimization
Clearly understand the electrochemical response of a cell and develop charge strategies under different environmental or use conditions.
