How Does illumionONE Work?

The illumionONE charge photometry method is an optical scattering microscopy technique that visualizes changes in the charge state of individual active particles during battery cycling. It uses the principle of optical interference reflection microscopy to detect scattered light from active particles. Ion insertion and extraction in active particles lead to changes in optical contrast, reflecting the local charge state. Critically, this universal principle means that charge photometry testing is not restricted by battery chemistry and can be applied to various materials.

How to Conduct Experiments with illumionONE?

Fill the electrode or other battery materials to be tested into a custom-designed optically accessible coin cell and install it into illumionONE. Set up the electrochemical test protocol in the acquisition software, and use the integrated cycling equipment on illumionONE to charge/discharge the battery. During the measurement, illumionONE collects charge photometry information and morphological data of particles while synchronizing electrochemical data.。

What Can illumionONE Offer?

Charge photometry testing enables observation of charge state changes at the single particle level, providing extensive research and application opportunities in electrode optimization, fast charging, and material degradation.
