Battery researchers need a three-electrode cell that is:
1) Affordable
2) Easy to use
3) Suitable for mass-scale testing
4) Produces consistent results even during long-term tests

When researching battery materials, the use of a reference electrode (RE) allows researchers to measure and differentiate the contribution of each component in the cell to the overall cell performance.  Three-electrode experiments help identify which electrode (Anode or Cathode) limits the cell performance during long-term testing.  These experiments allow researchers to isolate and analyze the individual contributions of the anode and cathode material in the battery, thus expediting the overall development process.

Historically, these existing three-electrode cells require unique cell designs that all have significant flaws or limitations.  Arbin has a new patented three-electrode “3E” cell design that was developed by and licensed from General Motors.  Coin cells are the most common format for early materials development. Decoupling the test results between positive and negative electrode allows faster development since each can be evaluated simultaneously in the full cell. Arbin’s easy-to-use three-electrode “3E” coincell kit and holder will reduce the time and cost of battery materials development with a complete solution to evaluate both electrodes individually during the same round of cycling.  Researchers wish to demonstrate and compare their battery materials to existing two-electrode data without normalization. Since most battery material work is conducted using coincells, this is the natural choice for three-electrode  experiments to compare the new results with the vast amount of tradition two-electrode data in publication. However, now the data will decouple the anode and cathode and provide new insights!

A Whitepaper is available for free to download that explains the benefits of three-electrode testing, compares both commercial and common homemade solutions, reveals usage data for Arbin’s new “3E” coincell kits and holders.

Comparing Three-electrode test cells

Compared to traditional Swagelok-style three-electrode cells, Arbin’s new “3E” three-electrode coin cell is:
lower cost  |  easy for mass scale testing  |   easy to compare with published data.

Compared to homemade three-electrode solutions, Arbin’s new “3E” three-electrode coin cell produces:
consistent results  |  allows long-term cycle life without leakage  |  is easy to use for mass scale testing.

Low Cost
Arbin's "3E" coin cells costs a small fraction of commercial swagelok-style three-electrode cells.
Easy to Use
The "3E" cell is as easy to build and use as a traditional coin cell, and inserts easily into the special "3E" coin cell holder.
Suitable for Mass Scale Testing
Arbin's "3E" coin cell is the only three-electrode solution that is practical to use for mass-scale testing.
Consistent Results
The "3E" coin cells allow consistent results across batches of cells, and allow comparison to other published coin cell results.
Long-Term Cyclability
"3E" coin cells avoid leakage and provide long-term cyclability.
Robust Design
The "3E" coin cell is robust and not fragile to drops or with loose wires.
The holder likewise provides excellent contact with consistent pressure.
