In-situ Expansion Testing Machine

The in-situ expansion testing machine (also known as the in-situ expansion analysis system) is a core equipment in the field of new energy battery research and development. It is mainly used to monitor the thickness expansion and expansion force changes of lithium-ion batteries during the charging and discharging cycle in real time and non-destructively.

    Technological Excellence

    A.Two Core Testing Modes

    (1)Constant Pressure Mode: Monitors the thickness change of the battery at a constant pressure, simulating the actual force conditions of the battery cell

    (2) Constant Gap Mode: Monitors the expansion force change at a fixed thickness, evaluating the structural stress on the module/shell

     

    B.Ultra-high Measurement Accuracy

    (1) The displacement resolution reaches **0.1μm**, accurately capturing minute phase change expansion

    (2) High-precision pressure sensor ensures real-time accuracy of mechanical data

     

    C.Integrated Analysis Software

    (1) Synchronously collects six-dimensional data including voltage, current, capacity, thickness, pressure, and temperature

    (2) Automatically generates professional analysis charts such as thickness-capacity, expansion force-SOC, and dQ/dV correlations

    Scientific Data Insights

    (1) Irreversible expansion analysis: Compare the thickness changes in the first week and during the long cycle, to assess the irreversible volume expansion caused by the SEI film and side reactions

    (2) Phase transition feature extraction: Determine the phase transition stages of the material at different SOC levels by analyzing the slope changes of the expansion curve

    (3) Mechanical modulus assessment: Test the mechanical modulus of the battery under various charging and discharging states to provide data support for mechanical simulation

    FAQ

    • 1.Why is "in-situ" testing more important than "ex-situ" testing in the research and development of silicon anode batteries?

    • 2.How should one choose between the constant pressure mode and the constant gap mode?

      If you are studying the inherent physical properties of the materials, it is recommended to use the constant pressure mode; if you are verifying the module structure design or the strength of the PACK shell, the constant gap mode can more accurately simulate the expansion force and damage of the battery in a sealed space.
    • 3.How stable is the system? Can it support long-term cycle tests lasting for several months?
