ECC series
The ECC series is a versatile and modular test cell system for battery
research. Almost all cell parts are reusable execpt for the PE-Seals. Most
test cells of the ECC series have the stainless steel bracket in common,
which serves to apply the sealing force.
By manually turning the wing nut on top of the bracket, about one ton of
mechanical pressure is being applied onto the PE-Seal, which is placed
between cell base and lid. This pressure in combination with two cutting
rings on each side of the PE-Seal turns the ECC test cells into a reliable
leak-proof container, which is essential for air and humidity sensiti-
ve battery tests. In contrast to the large sealing pressure, gentle and re-
producible mechanical pressure onto the inside electrode stack is provided
by an internal compression spring (see figure on the right).
As standard, the ECC series test cells are designed for aprotic organic
electrochemical systems such as lithium metal batteries, Li-ion batteries
and aprotic supercapacitors. All materials are carefully chosen and
tested to withstand corrosion and compatibility issues related to
the organic electrolyte solutions in use and to the wide range of po-
tentials applied.
Some of the ECC test cells are also available for common aqueous
electrolytes. The corresponding cells use the ending „Aqu“ within their
names. Current collectors of these cells are made of gold, platinum, glassy
carbon or nickel.
Most ECC test cells share the concept of a point type reference electrode
and a PEEK insulation sleeve inside the cell which serves to align the
two sandwiched electrodes concentrically. This insulation sleeve fea-
tures a tiny feed-through hole that is to be loaded with an appropriate
reference material (lithium metal in most cases). From outside the cell, a
spring-loaded metal pin makes the electronic contact towards the
reference material inside the feed-through hole. Alternatively, the 1
mm metal pin itself can be used as a pseudo reference electrode. Different
materials are available for the metal pin, including stainless steel, ni-
ckel, gold, platinum, magnesium and silver. Stainless steel is the standard
for the aprotic type cells and gold for the aqueous type cells.
All test cells of the ECC series can be operated with a glass fiber separator
available in the thickness range from 0.26 to 1.55 mm. The ECC-Std and
the ECC-PAT-Core can also operate with technical (e.g. polyolefine) separa-
tors having a typical thickness of 25 µm.
A variety of specific tools is available to support the cutting of electrodes,
the assembly of cells with oversized Celgard type separators and the
loading of the feed-through hole with the reference material.

Example:
10 Product leaflet 01-2015
Our new electrochemical dilatometer is available in two versions, the
ECD-3 and the ECD-3-nano. The two instruments mainly differ in the
resolution and drift stability of the displacement sensor system that is
attached to the electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell is identical
for both versions.
Working PrincipleThe ECD-3 and ECD-3-nano electrochemical dilatometer measure the
thickness change of a working electrode during the electrochemical cy-
cle. The heart of the dilatometer is an electrochemical cell hermetically
ECD-3 ECD-3-nano
Displacement sensor system LVDT Capacitive
Displacement range 500 µm 250 µm
Displacement Resolution ≤ 50 nm ≤ 5 nm
Signal bandwidth ≥ 10 Hz
Signal drift (sample-free) ≤ 100 nm / hour ≤ 20 nm / hour
Test specimenElectrode films, optional single crystals/ grains
Diameter ≤ 10 mm, thickness ≤ 1 mm
Load on test specimen approx. 1 N
Chemical compatibility Aprotic organic electrolytes; optional aqueous electrolytes
Construction materials in media contactAprotic: SS 316L, PEEK, EPDM
Aqueous (optional): Au, PEEK, EPDM
Cell electrolyte volume approx. 1 ml
Temperature range -20 to +70 °C
Electrode configurations 2-electrode, 3-electrode (reference)
Signals recorded by internal USB data acquisition (DL) systemElectrode displacement, cell current,
electrode potentials (WE, CE), temperature, time
Analog outputs for seamless integration with external potentiostat Displacement, temperature
sealed against ambient atmosphere. The working electrode WE and the
counter electrode CE are separated by a stiff glass frit soaked with elec-
trolyte. The upper WE is sealed by means of a flexible metal membrane,
through which any charge-induced thickness change is transmitted to-
wards the sensor/load unit attached on top. The fixation of the glass frit
ensures that only the thickness change of the working electrode is be-
ing detected, without interference from the CE. Optionally, a reference
electrode REF can be placed at the edge of the frit close to the working
electrode.
OptionsVarious add-ons are available for special testing requirements, such as
for using aqueous electrolytes, for using single grains or crystals instead
of bound electrode films and for measuring the thickness change of the
whole battery stack instead of the WE only.
Improvements of ECD-3 Elimination of tubing and external valves reduces the risk of
leakage and saves effort.
Use of special polymer with minimal water absorption reduces
drying effort and accelerates work flow.
Use of a smaller glass frit reduces amount of electrolyte required
(approx. 1 cm3)
Better handling saves time and effort.

ECC-RefLoadTool for conveniently loading lithium metal into the Ref bore
of the ECC-Ref sleeve.
ECC-CellLoadElectrode alignment and assembly tool for use with ECC-Std
The ECC-CellLoad supports building full cells with thin Celgard type se-
parators. The concentric alignment of the two electrodes – with the
oversized separator in between – is the key for electrochemical perfor-
mance and life time.
The ECC-CellLoad is the tool to get that done easily.
The device is basically a small tube (cannula) with a knock-out pin
inside. A tiny piece of lithium metal is first picked up by pressing the
cannula onto a piece of lithium foil. The cannula is then inserted into
the bore of the Ref sleeve, and the lithium inside the cannula is extruded
into the Ref bore by actuating the knock-out pin.
The right picture demonstrates how the lithium metal can be extruded
through the Ref bore forming a thin wire. In practice, push the lithium
just to the inner surface of the Ref sleeve – no more, no less.

EL-CutHigh precision cutting pliers eliminate torn and chipped
electrode edges.
The proper cutting of the electrodes is often an neglected factor in
battery testing. Torn and chipped electrode edges – although invisible
to the bare eye - inevitably cause current inhomogeneity and are thus
likely to affect experimental results. Especially life cycle and impedance
results are prone to such artefacts. Electrodes being cut by conventional
punching (stamping) with only one punch force show chipped edges
and are not plain. In contrast, electrodes being cut (fine blanked) by
the EL-Cut are produced by three active forces and in tools with a few
microns cutting clearance. The fine blanking process results in electrodes
having clean cutting surfaces without torn or chipped edges and being
almost perfectly flat.
The long slot within the tool allows to cut electrodes close to the border
as well as in the middle of the foil.
ECC-StopRailCross hairs reduce cutting waste after mounting
to the EL-Cut.
Don’t waste your precious electrode material! When attached to the
cutting pliers, the crosshairs of the ECC-StopRail enable you to precisely
target the electrode.
The ECC-StopRail is an optional tool for the EL-Cut cutting pliers. The
ECC-StopRail helps to conveniently target the cutting area and to make
effective use of the electrode sheet, and so speed up the cutting process.

Weight: ca. 2.8 kg
Features Easily attached to EL-Cut, no tools required
