Facilities & Offerings
Material Synthesis Facilities
Our material synthesis lab is equipped for material processing, nanomaterials and electrode material development, and safe handling of chemicals. Key equipment includes hot air and vacuum ovens, a split tube furnace, muffle furnace, sonicator (bath and probe), magnetic stirrer, ball milling, centrifuge, and fume hood.
Electrode Fabrication Facilities
Built for slurry preparation and coating, electrode cutting and shaping, and high-precision electrode assembly support. Equipment includes a doctor blade, crimping machine, and disc cutter.
Cell Assembly Facilities
A moisture and oxygen-free environment for safe, precise cell assembly across a wide range of formats, including coin and pouch cells. Our glove box (argon atmosphere) supports two people working simultaneously, enabling efficient electrode handling and cell assembly.
Battery Testing & Electrochemical Characterization
Testing across Charge-Discharge (GCD), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and GITT. Equipped with multiple battery testers (up to 30A, 8 channels, with temperature data acquisition) and an electrochemical working station.
Lab as a Service (LaaS) Model
Our LaaS model gives industries, startups, and researchers flexible, on-demand access to our infrastructure and expertise, without the capital investment of building an in-house lab. Engage through project-based work, contract research, or customised collaboration built around your specific research and development needs.
Certificate Courses
Beyond lab access, we offer certificate courses in Energy Storage Systems, designed to build applied, hands-on expertise in battery technology and electrochemical research for students, professionals, and industry partners alike.
