11 cyclers EIS measurement BCS-8xx series cycling Each BCS-8xx module is composed of 8 channels. To ensure better accuracy in current control and measurement, 5 current ranges are available depending on the model. Channels of BCS-815 modules can be connected in parallel to increase the maximum current up to 12 A. With an 18-bit analog to digital converter for the voltage measurement, the resolution of the BCS-8xx is an impressive 4 µv. To add even more capability and value, every channel in a module is EIS-capable over a frequency range from 1 khz to 1 mhz for accurate and fast determination of the battery internal resistance. BCS-8xx modules can be added to a single cabinet. Several sizes are offered (38U, 24U, 12U and 6U). Impedance measurement for battery testing, why...? BCS-8xx series, with its fast bandwidth controllers, offers both potentio- and galvano- control for EIS measurements in 1 khz to 1 mhz frequency range, with user-specified number of data points and frequency range to be recorded. User is also in control of the excitation amplitude. Impedance spectroscopy can be used as a standalone technique, but it can be also seamlessly incorporated into our ModuloBat technique to record the impedance spectrum of the battery, either in equilibrium or steady-state conditions. That means you not only can record a spectrum of the cell at a constant voltage, but also under a given galvanostatic load. If there are sources of uncompensated inductance or capacitance in the cell, only full impedance spectrum can be a reliable measure or internal High frequency resistance through an automated spectrum fitting procedure. Low frequency Specifications Low frequency range of the spectrum is an invaluable source of information about Li + diffusion within the electrolyte (separator), as well as porosity within electrodes and inside the active material particles..

With more than 15 years of development and constant improvement in techniques and features, EC-Lab software has become the benchmark in potentiostat control software. Display mode Two view modes are available in EC-Lab /BT-Lab. The setup of experiments can be done with a technique menu, or by inputting parameter values into a spreadsheet. Most of the experimental parameters can be modified on the fly during the experiment, with the changes stored into the raw data file. The appearance of the software interface is adjustable to create the best working environment for the user. Experimental sequence builder EC-Lab software contains more than 8 techniques. These techniques can address applications in voltammetry, EIS, corrosion and energy source development. A powerful technique builder can execute a series of different modular techniques, wait and loop features to create complex experimental sequences. Even within each technique, the user can create up to 1 linkable sequences of that experiment with different parameters. When a certain level of the experiment is reached, an can be sent to the user. EIS measurements EIS measurements can be made in both controlled potential and controlled current modes from 1 μhz to a remarkable 7 MHz. The patented drift correction algorithm and multiple stability parameters allow users to acquire high quality data from their EIS measurements (more information in page 22). An extended range of analysis Display EC-Lab s graphic provided with the software includes a powerful 3-Dimension plot feature and a tool to create unique graph templates. Using our advanced Process function, the user can create new variables for each axis. This enables mathematical functions to be performed on data plotted on any axis (x, y1 and y2). fitting Powerful electro-analytical analysis tools (such as peak find/height, convection wave, integral, Tafel fit, Rp determination) are available in EC-Lab. These analyses incorporate classical fit routines (linear, polynomial, multi-exponential) and algorithms. All the analysis results are stored in a separate file. EC-Lab s EIS modeling, Z Fit, utilizes the equivalent circuit approach. There are over 15 standard circuits and two minimizations algorithms available for use in understanding impedance plot information. The user can define and build his own circuit model using a range of thirteen simple elements (R, C, L, Q, W, G, Wd, M, Ga, Gb, La, Ma, Mq). The last elements can be assimilated to a transmission lines. A batch processing feature allows the fitting of multiple cycles in an impedance experiment. & simulation Several tools are available to simulate CV curve, Tafel plot or EIS data. They can be used as training tools. CV Sim allow the user to create data with different mechanisms such as single (E) or multi (up to EEEEE) electron transfer. Electron transfer reaction can also be mixed with chemical reaction electron transfer to simulate an EC mechanism. E we /V Log (<I>/mA) Im(Z)/Ohm Re(Z)/Ohm 4 1 Time/h 2 EIS VASP Fit... CASP Fit...

This measurement is based on the DSP technology that mixes accuracy and fast sampling. This feature results in several major tools developed in our control software: single sine and multi sine EIS techniques, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based integration, cycle averaging up to 16 frequencies and a patented drift correction. Controlling techniques AC sine waves can be superimposed on a DC potential or a DC current value. Additional techniques are available that impose the sine wave on a potential (SPEIS, also known as Mott Schottky technique) or a current (SGEIS) sweep. Finally our EIS techniques can be sequenced to apply different defined conditions during the frequency sweep. Accuracy Accuracy is given by the error observed on the phase and on the magnitude. For almost all of our potentiostats, we specify 1%, 1 accuracy below 5 khz, which is reduced with a booster. For SP-2/3 technology, the performance is higher and reaches.3%,.3 accuracy in the same area. Modeling EC-Lab software offers Z Fit, a modeling tool for equivalent circuit fitting. Over 15 standard circuits combining 13 elements and two minimization algorithms (Simplex DownHill and Levenberg-Marquardt) are available to investigate impedance data. Z Fit and Z Sim tools are available in EC-Lab demo version.
