• Material and Component Characterization

    Polaris can provide developers with detailed material characteristics along with electrochemical data to fully characterize a new battery material or component.

  • Critical Results for Material Development and Q.C.

    Service options include one-time analysis projects, phased long term development activities, ongoing batch analysis for Q.C., and vertical integration consulting.

    Material Characterization and Analysis

    We offer detailed material characteristics analysis which can include particle size, distribution, purity, surface area, and composition. These reports have proven key in early phase development and fundraising activities, and can be customized to the needs of each client and unique project.

    Electrochemical Performance Reports

    Our internal electrochemical testing analysis can include first charge capacity, first discharge capacity, impedance and first cycle loss. These results are often utilized along with material characterization to provide a comprehensive understanding of a new material. Customized regimes are also available for cell testing.

    Batch Qualification and Q.C.

    Our batch qualification service is designed to provide 3rd party assessment of production material during the development process, or for quality control purposes. This service utilizes both the material characterization and e-chem analysis, and is aimed at identifying changes in quality or performance of a material over time.

  • Typical Material Qualification Timeline

    The steps below are the general flow for material qualification and development projects. These steps are often customized, and each step may involve iterative revision cycles before the project proceeds to the next phase.
