High-Current Pulses for Battery Research

17 Sept 2017

The Reference™ 3000 potentiostat and 30k Booster by Gamry can be used for running stress tests on batteries by applying rapid, high-current pulses singly or repeatedly. This application note shows the characteristics of these instruments and displays their suitability for battery testing.

VoltammetryVoltammetry is a sensitive analytical technique for elemental detection. In a voltammeter the current is measured in the system whilst the voltage is varied. Usually 3 metal electrodes are required including the reference, auxiliary and working electrodes. In polarography, a subclass of voltammetry, the working electrode used is a dropping mercury electrode (DME). The 2 main types of voltammetry are cyclic and linear sweep voltammetry.Batteries
