Why choose BioLogic?

Modular ranges

The M470 can be configured with any of 7 differents modules, to work with 9 different techniques. BioLogic’s potentiostats are “>modular (upgradable in-situ), extend range with boosters. Different BCS-900 modules can be combined in a single cabinet, for users to build a custom-made battery cycling system.

Integrated climate chamber management

To better understand the performance and lifespan of batteries testing under controlled environmental conditions is required. The TCU Server integrates with EC-Lab® and BT-Lab® to provide direct control of climatic chambers and other temperature control units.

High-speed CC-CV shift

For both BioLogic’s potentiostats and cyclers, a unique design enables an ultra-fast shift from galvanostat mode to potentiostat mode to perform the best CC-CV technique, avoiding any transient phenomena on the battery.

Powerful softwares

With EC-Lab®, set safety limits, choose the control mode and measure all potentials (Ewe, Ece, Ewe-Ece) and related variables, modify your setting as the experiments run. BT-Lab® Suite enables on-site and remote access, batch data analysis, and easy reporting.

Powerful EIS capabilities

Native EIS on BCS-9xx. Interpret and model EIS data using ZFit. Make reliable impedance measurements using BioLogic’s EIS Quality Indicators. GEIS-AA technique: enables to avoid non-linear behavior for time-variant systems (AA meaning amplitude adaptation).

High precision calculation / Data of interest

EC-Lab® and BT-Lab® help you to identify key data of interest such as battery cycle life, Coulombic efficiency, capacity and dQ/dV. Data of interest are directly process in the firmware, allowing better accuracy.

FAQ.

What frequency range is relevant for Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurement when characterizing batteries?

In battery research, the most relevant frequency range typically is from 10 kHz to 10 mHz: ​

  • high-frequency range (10 kHz – 1 kHz) provides insights into solution resistance and electrolyte conductivity​
  • mid-frequency range (1 kHz – 100 mHz) shows charge transfer processes and electrode kinetics​​
  • low frequency range (100 mHz – 10 mHz) indicates mass transport limitations and diffusion processes. ​​

Note: Very high-frequency ranges (up to few MHz) is relevant only for solid-state batteries and gives insights into solid ionic conductors.​

What tools can help me model real-life battery cycles?

Simulating complex battery cycles that model real-life activity is essential in battery development. BioLogic solutions feature special tools to import specific profiles instead of manually creating a protocol with thousands of steps: ​

Urban Profile in EC-Lab software for potentiostat,​

and Arbitrary User Profile in BT-Test software for battery cycler.​

Can I use a BioLogic instruments to conduct in operando XRD measurement?

At Biologic, we combined the use of a high-quality X-ray diffractometer from partners with our SP-50e/150e potentiostats. With this set up researchers are able to perform in operando XRD measurements on pouch and coin cells during charge and discharge cycles to monitor structural changes in the electrode materials.​
