Electrochemical laboratory

Description

Capabilities

• Characterisation of fuel cell component layers, single cells (100 A) and short stacks (600 A, or possibly up to 800 A with the new zero-voltage load)
• Corrosion rate measurement
• Resistance and contact resistance measurements
• Mechanical properties of bipolar plate and membranes - flexural and tensile strength
• Permeation characteristics of membranes and porous media (under construction)
• Physical vapor deposition, coating and metal plating
• Analytics: gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, conductometry, pH measurements
• Work with volatile substances: Laminar flow box
• Environment simulation: Climate chamber simulating temperature and humidity; thermostat up to 2.2 kW; Cooling loop
• Technical gases: H₂ (up to 2200 NL/min and 10 bar), oil free air (up to 4400 NL/min) and technical compressed air; N₂, combustible gases (CH₄); O₂; gases for analytics (6.0 H₂, HelOx, etc.)
