IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application scenarios and core capabilities: high-precision electrochemical workstation functions, EIS impedance analysis, accurate DCIR, dQ/dV differential capacity analysis, accurate gram capacity, high-precision coulombic efficiency, and charge-discharge cycling evaluation.

Applications

Case 1: EIS Analysis–Different Cell Impedance Analysis

High-frequency EIS impedance range: 0.01Hz~100kHz, meeting the high-frequency impedance test requirements of 10mΩ~1kΩ level batteries.

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: high-precision EIS impedance testing (0.01Hz–100kHz, 10mΩ–kΩ scale) comparing PEIS (coin cell) and GEIS (2Ah pouch cell) Nyquist plots against top-tier electrochemical workstations with <5% measurement deviation.

Compared with the EIS test results of well-known foreign electrochemical workstations, the error is within 5%

Case 2: Cell Cycle EIS Test

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: in-situ dynamic EIS impedance tracking (0.01Hz–100kHz) and charge-transfer resistance (Rct) evolution across charge and discharge states (10%–100% SOC and DOD) for coin cells.

  • Rct decreases as SOC increases.
  • Rct increases as DOD increases.

Case 3: Accurate DCIR Performance

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: high-precision Direct Current Internal Resistance (DCIR) measurement, current pulse method (V1-V0)/I, and measurement consistency comparison across different accuracy grades (0.05%, 0.02%, 0.01% with COV down to 4.0%) for coin cells at 25°C (0.5C, 10s).

  • DCIR testing was conducted on 6 sets of coin cells using instruments with three different voltage accuracy levels, with a 0.1 s sampling rate.
  • Higher voltage accuracy yields significantly better consistency in coin cell DCIR measurements.

Case 4: Cyclic Voltammetry(CV) to Evaluate Materials Properties

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) material evaluation for 24mAh coin cells across scan rates (0.1, 0.2, 0.5 mV/s), linear fitting of peak current vs. square root of scan rate (ip vs. v^(1/2), R²=0.9947) for lithium-ion diffusion kinetics, and benchmark accuracy comparison against leading electrochemical workstations.

  • The peak current of reversible reduction is proportional to the square root of the scan rate.
  • Consistent with the CV(Cyclic Voltammetry) curves measured by electrochemical workstations.

Case 5: dQ/dV Curves to Evaluate Material Phase Changes

dQ/dV Curve Analysis:

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: differential capacity (dQ/dV vs. Voltage) analysis for battery material phase transition evaluation, demonstrating high-resolution peak identification and low signal noise with 0.01% measurement accuracy compared to standard 0.05% hardware.

Curve Smoothness:

  • High-precision equipment: dQ/dV curves are smooth and continuous, capable of capturing subtle electrochemical changes.
  • Low-precision equipment: Curves exhibit noise or discontinuities, with difficulty in accurately identifying detailed features.

Electrochemical reaction characteristics:

  • High-precision equipment: Clearly reveals characteristic peaks of multi-stage reactions in the battery, uncovering material phase transitions or side reactions.
  • Low-precision equipment: Characteristic peaks are obscured by measurement noise, prone to missing critical information.

In dQ/dV curve analysis, high-precision equipment is crucial for studying electrochemical details, improving data reliability, and identifying material characteristics. Low-precision equipment can perform basic testing but may miss critical details, especially in high-demand research scenarios.

Case 6: Charge and discharge Evaluation of Material Specific Capacity

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: evaluating active material specific gram capacity (charge/discharge mAh/g), initial coulombic efficiency (CE), and statistical repeatability (COV down to 1.0%) for graphite half-cells under multi-stage CC-CV protocols compared to benchmark testing systems.

Specific capacity testing across 8 graphite half-cells demonstrates superior capacity consistency.

Case 7: Evaluation of Coulombic Efficiency in Cells via Charge and Discharge Testing

Coulombic Efficiency Testing:

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: high-precision coulombic efficiency (HPCOR / CE%) evaluation across cycling, cumulative capacity fade modeling (CAPk = CAP0 * CE1 * ... * CEk), and measurement baseline stability comparing IEST high-precision channels (0.01%, 0.02%) against standard commercial systems (0.05%).

  • Lifetime prediction models built on coulombic efficiency can accurately forecast battery capacity fade.
  • For effective lifetime prediction, accuracy must be controlled to at least 1‰ (0.1%), with noise interference suppressed below 10 ppm!

Case 8: Evaluation of Cells Self-Discharge Under Constant Voltage Charging

  • High precision supports leakage current testing of large capacity and low internal resistance cells
  • Replace the time-consuming and labor-intensive solution of measuring K value, enabling faster and more accurate monitoring of battery cell self-discharge characteristics.

Coin Cell Leakage Current Test:

  • Electrodes: NCM (ф14 mm) vs. Lithium (ф20 mm)
  • Capacity: 2 mAh
  • Equipment: ECT6008 High-Precision Device
  • Test Procedure: Constant Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV) Charging: 0.8 mA, 3.8 V, for 72 hours

IEST Battery Cycle Tester & Electrochemical Property Analyzer (ERT Series) application case: rapid battery self-discharge evaluation using constant voltage (potentiostatic) float charge method at 3.8V, measuring micro-current decay down to 2.76 µA steady-state leakage with first-order exponential decay fitting (ExpDec1, R²=0.9757).
