Introduction
The KINTEK Swagelok-type test cell is a modular, T-shaped device constructed from high-quality, chemically inert materials. The system features a robust mechanical design consisting of:
- PTFE Body: A T-joint structure that houses the electrolyte and electrodes.
- Current Collectors: Precision-machined metallic plungers (available in Stainless Steel, Titanium, Aluminum, and other materials) that make direct contact with the active material.
- Pressure Mechanism: Integrated springs and screw-caps allow for the application of consistent, reproducible pressure on the electrode stack, simulating the internal pressure of real-world batteries.
- Sealing System: High-grade ferrules and nuts ensure a hermetic seal, effectively isolating the internal chemistry from atmospheric contaminants.
The device is available in both two-electrode (for full cell/half cell cycling) and three-electrode configurations. The three-electrode setup incorporates a top port specifically designed to accommodate various reference electrodes (such as Ag/AgCl, Saturated Calomel, or Ag+), enabling precise potential monitoring of the working electrode.

Key Applications
These simulation cells are indispensable for researchers working on next-generation energy storage technologies. They are widely used in:
- Li-ion and Na-ion Battery Research: Testing anode/cathode materials and simulating coin cell performance without the need for crimpers.
- Metal-Air Batteries: Specifically Lithium-air and Zinc-air systems where electrolyte handling and sealing are critical.
- Solid-State Batteries: The ability to apply high pressure makes these cells ideal for testing solid-state electrolytes.
- Electrocatalysis: Suitable for OER (Oxygen Evolution Reaction) and HER (Hydrogen Evolution Reaction) studies in non-aqueous or aqueous media.
- Organic Electrolyte Systems: Perfect for testing sensitive organic systems due to the high chemical compatibility of the PTFE construction.
Advantages
- Superior Electrochemical Performance: Unlike traditional large-volume three-electrode beakers, the KINTEK Swagelok-type cell minimizes the distance between electrodes. This significantly reduces the solution resistance (IR drop) and concentration polarization, resulting in smoother, more accurate electrochemical curves (CV, LSV, EIS).
- Low Electrolyte Consumption: The compact internal volume requires only a few drops of electrolyte to fully wet the separator. This is a massive cost-saver when working with expensive ionic liquids or custom-synthesized electrolytes.
- Airtight Sealing: The compression fitting design ensures an excellent seal, preventing electrolyte evaporation and protecting sensitive lithium or sodium metals from oxygen and moisture. This stability allows for long-term cycling tests.
- Versatility and Ease of Use: The screw-tightening mechanism allows for quick assembly and disassembly inside a glovebox. Users can easily swap out electrode materials or separators, making it a high-throughput tool for material screening.
Tailored Customization Services
At KINTEK, we understand that standard specifications do not fit every experiment. We offer extensive customization options to meet your specific research needs:
- Current Collector Materials: Choose from Stainless Steel, Titanium, Aluminum, Copper, Gold-plated metals, or Glassy Carbon to prevent side reactions with your specific electrolyte.
- Dimensions: While the standard internal diameter is 12mm, we can machine custom sizes to fit your specific electrode discs.
- Functional Add-ons: We can manufacture cells with optical windows for in-situ spectral analysis or specialized ports for gas inlet/outlet flow testing.
