How to set up PITT test for Lithium-Sulfur batteries on Neware BTS 8.0? Basic Principles of PITT Test PITT requires the application of a series of small potential steps (typically 5 mV to 10 mV) to the battery. The voltage is held constant at each step until the current decays to a pre-set threshold. By recording the current-time curves (I vs. t), the diffusion coefficients of the Lithium-Sulfur battery can be calculated at different depths of discharge (DOD).

In the PITT test of lithium-sulfur

How to make a pouch cell in lab without equipment? As we know, the normal process for making pouch cells involves preparing the electrode sheets, then cutting the positive and negative electrodes using a film-cutting machine, cutting the aluminum-plastic film using an aluminum-plastic film forming machine, and welding the tabs using an ultrasonic spot welder. In the laboratory, lithium negative electrodes are generally used (it’s even more convenient if zinc electrodes, which can be assembled in air, are used). The next step is to transfer the batteries to a glove box and stack them using manual stacking fixtures or an automatic stacking machine. Finally, they are sealed using a top-side

When I asked Google Gemini, how to set GITT test for lithium-sulfur batteries and how to set them on Neware battery testing system? Its answer is： For Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries, the GITT test is more complex than standard intercalation materials because of the liquid-to-solid phase transitions. Below is the guide for parameter settings and the configuration process in the Neware BTS software.   I. GITT Parameter Design for Li-S Batteries Unlike Li-ion batteries, Li-S cells involve the shuttle effect and viscosity changes in the electrolyte. Therefore, the parameters must be set to capture the equilibrium potential accurately. And 5. Data Logging: Every 5 – 10 seconds or Delta V =

Zn//MnO2 battery from Primary to Rechargeable: A Timeline of Key Breakthroughs in Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries (AZIBs) For renewable energy to be truly viable, safe, low-cost, and scalable energy storage is essential. Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries (AZIBs) have entered the spotlight due to their non-flammable nature, eco-friendly raw materials, and high ionic conductivity. Through a comprehensive timeline, this article briefly outlines the critical milestones and methodologies that transformed the Zn//MnO2 (Zinc-Manganese) system from a primary cell into a rechargeable powerhouse. Why is everyone refocusing on our “old friend,” the zinc-manganese battery? The answer goes beyond mere “safety and affordability.” When researchers shifted their focus to the crystal framework of MnO2 and the chemical windows

How do aqueous zinc-ion batteries relate to traditional Zn//MnO₂ electrochemical systems? Understanding the Link: Traditional Zn//MnO₂ Batteries vs. Modern Aqueous Zinc-ion Batteries (AZIBs) In the rapidly evolving world of energy storage, the “Zinc-Manganese” system is experiencing a significant renaissance. While most consumers are familiar with the classic Zn//MnO₂ alkaline battery used in household remotes, researchers are now pivoting toward the Aqueous Zinc-ion Battery (AZIB) as a sustainable alternative to Lithium-ion. What is an Aqueous Zinc-ion Battery (AZIB)? An Aqueous Zinc-ion Battery (AZIB) is a type of secondary (rechargeable) energy storage system that utilizes zinc ions ($Zn^{2+}$) as the charge carriers, moving between a zinc metal anode and an intercalation cathode

New post from WeChat Official Account: Lithium Matters (言之成锂) Is this a supercapacitor or an all-solid-state battery? 2026 post Donut’s latest all-solid-state battery has been going viral across the internet over the past few days. Simultaneously, it has sent shockwaves through the overseas battery community. The performance data they released is simply mind-blowing—so incredible that it feels like technology from another planet.   A friend of mine, James—an industry veteran in the battery sector based abroad—has conducted an in-depth investigation and interpretation of this company and its newly released products. His detailed analysis is as follows: The specifications for Donut’s all-solid-state battery are as follows: Energy Density: 400 Wh/kg; Fast
