Battery Glove Box for Lithium-Ion and Sodium-Sulfur Research
Controlled Atmosphere Glove Box for Battery Research
We manufacture controlled-atmosphere glove boxes for lithium-ion, sodium-ion and advanced battery research. The system provides a dry, inert environment for handling moisture- and oxygen-sensitive materials and supports coin cell preparation, electrode handling, electrolyte filling and battery assembly.
For room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) battery research, the glove box can be configured with sufficient workspace for a coin cell crimping machine, laboratory tools and accessories required for coin cell fabrication.
The glove box is constructed from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel and features PLC-based controls for convenient operation. Its gas purification system is designed to maintain O2 and H2O levels below 2 ppm under specified operating conditions.
Chamber configuration, glove ports, electrical feedthroughs and accessories can be selected according to equipment dimensions and research requirements. For applications involving solvents, electrolytes or other chemicals, the configuration should be selected according to the materials being handled and applicable laboratory safety requirements.
Coin Cell Fabrication and Battery Research Applications
This battery glove box can be configured for laboratory research involving lithium-ion, sodium-ion and room-temperature sodium-sulfur (RT Na-S) battery systems. It provides a controlled inert environment for processes where battery materials and electrolytes need protection from atmospheric moisture and oxygen.
For coin cell research, the working chamber can be configured to accommodate a coin cell crimping machine together with laboratory tools and supporting equipment. Researchers can use the controlled workspace for activities such as electrode handling, electrolyte filling, coin cell preparation and cell assembly.
