Punch Current Collector for Soft Metals - SS316L, 6 mm dia. mount
The Punch Current Collector for Soft Metal Electrodes is a precision tool designed for cutting electrodes from soft metals commonly used in battery studies (lithium, sodium, potassium), while simultaneously functioning as a current collector. This tool can be utilized for creating working, counter, and reference electrodes in electrochemical experiments, ensuring versatility and reliability in a wide range of applications. With the ability to cut and collect current from soft metal electrodes, this tool ensures high precision and reliability in electrochemical testing, while also providing flexibility to adapt to the specific needs of your research. Customization options enable the tool to be optimized for various experimental requirements, including: the depth of the punch, diameter of the punch, diameter of the punch body, length of the tool, and the material from which the punch is made.
Application note
The Punch Current Collector for Soft Metal Electrodes is a versatile tool used for electrode preparation and current collection in electrochemical experiments. This tool is ideal for research involving lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K), which are soft metals widely used in battery research due to their promising properties for energy storage applications. Lithium is a key component in rechargeable battery technologies, particularly in lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium-metal batteries. Its high electrochemical potential makes it an excellent candidate for energy storage, though its reactivity with moisture and air requires careful handling. Sodium is an attractive alternative to lithium due to its abundance and lower cost. Sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion) are being explored for large-scale energy storage applications. Potassium, like sodium, is abundant and cost-effective. Potassium-ion batteries (K-ion) are gaining attention as potential candidates for large-scale energy storage, offering higher volumetric capacity but facing challenges in electrode material compatibility. The tool ensures precise cutting and smooth electrode surface, crucial for minimizing side reactions and improving battery performance.
