BATTERIES RESEARCH
Explore battery system performance at the nanoscale. Protochips’ in situ TEM tools allow you to visualize, test, and perform fundamental battery research within the electron microscope.
BATTERIES RESEARCH
Today’s growing economy requires innovative, new solutions that provide both better battery performance and cleaner energy solutions. With Protochips’ workflow-based in situ TEM solutions, you can utilize the electron microscope to study structure-function relationships that govern the underlying mechanisms dictating battery performance
SOLID STATE BATTERIES – FUSION AX
Perform electrical characterization and high-temperature studies in the vacuum of the TEM
Visualize the nanoscale processes that control solid-state battery material performance. Observe ion transfer reactions, growth kinetics, capacity degradation mechanisms and more without compromising resolution.

Hou, A. et al. (2023) Advanced Science, 10, p. 2205012
LIQUID BATTERIES – POSEIDON AX AND TRITON AX
Perform classic electrochemical analyses in a liquid electrolyte within the TEM
Observe charge-discharge reactions in real time, test how different electrolytes suppress dendrite formation and study the nanoscale mechanisms that control capacity fading and battery performance. Perform temperature-controlled electrochemical studies with Triton AX and room temperature electrochemical studies with Poseidon AX.
In the video: Copper formation on a Pt working electrode in the Triton AX system at 98°C. The AXON system synchronizes all metadata so that the nanoscale changes can be followed overtime.
