Gloveboxes for conventional and next generation Li-ion technologies
Details:
Dedicated glove boxes for Advanced lithium ion batteries and All solid-state batteries (ASSB) to avoid cross contamination.
Integrated double glove box makes possible to assemble ASSB cell (up to 200mAh) from slurry preparation to cell fabrication inside the Glove box.
Vacuum oven also integrated inside the Glove box to evaporate the solvent in the ASSB cell fabrication process.
Less level of H2O and O2 (less than 0.1ppm) ensures the electrode quality.
Ability to test (Ex: EIS…) the ASSB cell inside the gloveboxes itself.
