Flow battery test cell (2.5cm x 2.5cm OR 5cm x 5cm) for optimization and characterization of flow battery components like carbon felt electrodes, bipolar plates and membranes
HIGHLIGHTS
The design of the S-cell is a result of almost 10 years of know-how in the field of flow battery test cells. It was developed for testing and optimisation of stack components, like carbon felt electrode/bipolar plate materials and membranes. Electrode thickness > 0.5mm -1mm.
Some of the unique features of the S-cell are
GASKETS & ELECTRODE THICKNESS: Due to the many variations, cells are sold without gaskets and bipolar plates that has needs to be ordered individually.
The overall configuration and variation possibilities are shown in the image below – (Click on picture to get higher resolution)
The S-cell is intended for thick electrodes (> 0.5-1.0 mm), for thinner electrodes the A-cell is a better option. The active electrode area (either 2.5cm x 2.5cm OR 5cm x 5cm) is determined by the gaskets. I.e. both active areas can be used in the same cell if both types of gaskets are ordered. For the S-cell the following gasket must be ordered individually:

To minimize the pressure loss inside the cell it is recommended to use as-thick-as-possible Flow field gaskets and use Cover/Spacer gaskets to adjust the final thickness/compression of the electrode. The final compressed electrode thickness is the sum of the thicknesses of both the Flow field gaskets and Cover/Spacer gaskets, here several gaskets (and materials) and thicknesses can be combined. In our gaskets products we offer packs of different gasket thicknesses, and we recommend these as these will allow you to test virtually any electrode thickness and compression.
The S-cell can be operated without bipolar plates. However, in flow battery optimization studies it may be important to know the performance in combination with a bipolar plate e.g. to evaluate contact resistances. For this reason we also offer optional bipolar plates (hard graphite/polymer composite), alternatively we can supply you with the 2D drawing if you want to test your own bipolar plate material.

PERFORMANCE – Performance tests have shown that area specific resistances down to about 0.60 Ωcm2 can be obtained, i.e. the cell design does have an influence on the intrinsic cell performance.
