Energy: Solar · Battery · Hydrogen

Advanced materials characterization for next-generation energy technologies — battery electrodes & casings, solar cell materials, hydrogen storage alloys & membranes — supported by precision lab instruments, high-resolution microscopy, degradation & aging analysis, and expert material advisory services.

🔋

Battery Electrodes & Cells

Microstructural analysis of cathode (NMC, LFP, NCA), anode (graphite, silicon, Li-metal), separator, current collectors — particle morphology, coating uniformity, porosity, cracking, SEI layer formation, and electrode degradation mechanisms.

🪫

Battery Casing & Components

Metallographic evaluation of pouch, cylindrical & prismatic casings (Al, steel), welds, seals, busbars, and tabs — corrosion resistance, weld quality, material compatibility, and failure modes under thermal/runaway conditions.

☀️

Solar Materials & Cells

Cross-section and surface analysis of silicon wafers, thin-film (CdTe, CIGS, perovskite), anti-reflective coatings, TCO layers, busbars, encapsulants, and backsheets — defect detection, layer thickness, interface quality, and PID/degradation studies.

🧪

Hydrogen-Related Materials

Characterization of PEM/alkaline electrolyzer membranes, catalysts (Pt, Ir, Ni-based), bipolar plates, hydrogen storage alloys (AB5, AB2, Mg-based), and pipelines — microstructure, phase stability, hydrogen embrittlement, and corrosion behavior.

📉

Degradation & Aging Analysis

Root-cause investigation of cycle/calendar aging, capacity fade, impedance rise, dendrite growth, cracking, gas evolution, thermal runaway triggers, UV/thermal degradation in solar modules, and hydrogen-induced failures.

💡

Material Advisory & Standards

Independent material selection guidance, incoming inspection, supplier qualification, and compliance testing per IEC 61215/61730 (solar), UN 38.3, IEC 62133, GB/T (batteries), ISO 19881, and hydrogen-specific protocols — with detailed reports and recommendations.
