Equipment
We have a well-equipped lab with state-of-the-art equipment enabling a variety of testing to be completed. This includes degradation testing, impedance spectroscopy, cell characterisation, full thermal characterisation, OCV testing, and we are continuously working to further expand these capabilities.
An equipment list and their capabilities can be found listed below. If you have any specific inquiries please reach out at hves@brookes.ac.uk.
