With the ever-increasing demand for cleaner and safer energy, innovations are needed. At Biolin Scientific, we offer product solutions tailored for advanced analysis of thin film properties and interface phenomena.
Quality control of transformer oils
Our solutions offer possibilities to study interactions at surfaces and interfaces crucial for energy storage and conversion. There are multiple different interfaces in batteries and fuel cells that all play a significant role in ensuring optimum performance, manufacturing, and safety. Also, interfacial tension measurement is a key diagnostic tool for assessing transformer oil aging.
Wettability plays an important role in both lithium-ion battery manufacturing as well as performance and safety of the batteries. Studying the wettability at different stages of the manufacturing process is thus crucial and will deepen the understanding needed to produce even better batteries in the future.
Interfacial tension measurement can be used to assess the quality of transformer oils. Our Sigma702ET Transformer Oil Analyzer is specifically designed for the quality control of transformer oils. It follows IEC 62961 and ASTM D971 standards to measure the interfacial tension between transformer oil and water as a simple quality control measure for the oil.
In the pursuit of higher-performance batteries, efforts are made to develop new battery materials and to achieve more stable, lower cost, and safer energy storage. Battery operation includes multiple electrochemical phenomena, and EQCM.D is a powerful tool for studying these processes to enhance battery performance.
The implementation of electrochemical energy conversion, such as batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysis, is on the rise and there is an increasing need to improve the performance of these technologies. EQCM-D is a powerful tool for studying electrode reactions, providing insights that can help enhance these technologies' efficiency and lifespan.
