In catalyst and materials research, precision is not only important – it is crucial. Extremely high accuracy is required, so that even the smallest differences are reliably detected when testing materials. R&D teams must therefore make considerable efforts to dose feeds evenly, fill reactors with catalysts in a reproducible way, or provide electrochemical cells with a suitable electrocatalyst or a cell component. In the field of battery materials research, even the smallest differences in performance are crucial in order to further improve materials that are already considered excellent. Test cells therefore require extreme precision and efficiency in production. These processes also generate large amounts of data that need to be processed and evaluated quickly yet reliably. At hte, we have extensive experience as a provider of contract research services. Our comprehensive lab-scale R&D workflows deliver faster and more accurate answers to your research questions.
At hte, we test catalysts, battery materials, electrocatalysts and electrochemical cell components for our customers on a lab scale using our innovative R&D workflows. These workflows combine customized reactor systems, precise analytics, and software solutions with in-depth application knowledge. Our experts take care of all the material testing steps for you – from planning, preparation, and testing, up to analyzing and interpreting the data.
We support you in developing new catalysts or in the search for a commercial catalyst for your process. Here, we measure numerous performance parameters, including activity, selectivity, and stability/deactivation rate. The catalysts are either provided by our customers – also as part of a black box test – or produced in our own synthesis labs.
We determine the electrochemical performance of battery materials in test cells manufactured on site, qualify them, or compare them with one another. We process Li-ion, Na-ion, and solid-state batteries.
We test a wide range of parameters for development of new electrocatalytic processes: Our experts examine electrocatalysts and components of electrochemical cells to determine various performance parameters, such as activity and stability.
hte not only offers flexible lab facilities, time-saving catalyst and materials research, and the development of efficient processes – it also supports R&D teams at various stages of their research journey. Our specialists, for example, help with their expert knowledge in formulating and adjusting research and development strategies, assessing technologies, and evaluating studies.
