A battery testing apparatus includes a battery cycler configured to position a battery cell in a cell pocket defined by a baseplate. The apparatus additionally includes a thermal control device configured to regulate thermal energy in the cell pocket, a baseplate thermistor for detecting baseplate temperature, and thermal control device thermistor for detecting thermal control device temperature. The apparatus also includes a printed circuit board (PCB) in electric communication with the thermal control device thermistor. An electronic microcontroller, in electric communication with the baseplate thermistor and the PCB, is configured to regulate operation of the thermal control device based on data from the baseplate thermistor and the thermal control device thermistor. A main controller, in electronic communication with the microcontroller, is programmed to establish set values for baseplate temperature and battery cell reference current or voltage and regulate electrical input to the battery cell in accordance with the reference values.

Battery testing apparatus with integral temperature control

An apparatus for testing of multiple material samples includes a gas delivery control system operatively connectable to the multiple material samples and configured to provide gas to the multiple material samples. Both a gas composition measurement device and pressure measurement devices are included in the apparatus. The apparatus includes multiple selectively openable and closable valves and a series of conduits configured to selectively connect the multiple material samples individually to the gas composition device and the pressure measurement devices by operation of the valves. A mixing system is selectively connectable to the series of conduits and is operable to cause forced mixing of the gas within the series of conduits to achieve a predetermined uniformity of gas composition within the series of conduits and passages.

Apparatus for gas sorption measurement with integrated gas composition measurement device and gas mixing

An apparatus for synthesis and assaying of materials is provided that significantly improves throughput efficiency by allowing for material synthesis and assaying in the same assembly while possessing the ability to reach higher pressures and higher temperatures than existing designs capable of synthesis and assaying in the same assembly. In addition, the apparatus provides for gas flow over the material sample, allowing for a number of materials to be synthesized within the apparatus by gas synthesis.
