{"product_id":"cbidcoomsc","title":"Operando Optical Microscopy Split Cell for Battery Interfacial Dendrite Characterization, CBIDCOOMSC","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn operando optical microscopy split cell is a custom-designed electrochemical reactor that allows researchers to \"watch\" the internal life of a battery through a microscope while it operates. It is primarily used to study interfacial phenomena—the critical events that happen at the boundary where the electrode meets the electrolyte. It is mainly used to study the following aspects:  (1) \u003cstrong\u003eDendrite Nucleation \u0026amp; Growth\u003c\/strong\u003e: In Lithium or Zinc-metal batteries, optical microscopy is the primary tool to watch needle-like \"dendrites\" grow from the anode. This helps determine the \"critical current density\" before a short circuit occurs. (2)\u003cstrong\u003e Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) Formation\u003c\/strong\u003e: While SEI is nanometric, optical interference microscopy can track its formation as a darkening or color change on the electrode surface. (3) \u003cstrong\u003eElectrode Swelling\/Mechanical Stress\u003c\/strong\u003e: You can observe the physical expansion of particles (like Silicon) during lithiation and see if they crack or lose contact with the current collector. (4) \u003cstrong\u003eGas Evolution\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tracking the nucleation of bubbles (CO2, H2) at the interface, which indicates electrolyte degradation or overcharging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; height: 231px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 36.6634%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 63.1567%; height: 35.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCBIDCOOMSC (C-BIDC-OOMSC)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 73px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 36.6634%; height: 73px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eStructure\/Components\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 63.1567%; height: 73px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCell Body: PEEK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Window: Sapphire (transparence\u0026gt;95%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrode Rod for Support: pure Ti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Li\/Na metal foil size: 10 * 10 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 36.6634%;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eElectrode Configuration Option\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 63.1567%;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor two-electrode system, only two Ti working electrodes are included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor three-electrode system, an additional reference electrode is included.
