Nano-characterisation of solid-state capacitor and battery materials

Access Description
Access to nano-characterisation lab facilities for assessment of solid-state capacitor and battery materials
Technical Offering
  • Variable-temperature (4.2 K to 475 K) , wafer-level I-V, CV measurements
  • Surface topography, roughness, step height of solid state battery materials via AFM
  • Top down and cross-sectional SEM of solid state battery materials
Main Equipment
  • TTPX cryogenic probe station
  • Dimension 3100 AFM
  • JSM-7500F Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope
Typical applications
Advanced process development and/or reverse engineering of solid state battery/supercapacitor materials and stacks for next generation IOT applications.
Case Study
An SME or research team are developing new materials for a smart battery/supercapacitor but they need access to characterisation equipment to optimise this. EnABLES will provide access to the facilities required. A typical project will offer 10 days access to the Tyndall researchers and equipment required.
