NCM811 Artificial Graphite Anode Pouch Dry Pouch Cell (Multiple Specs)

Name: NCM811 / Artificial Graphite Anode Pouch Dry Pouch Cell (Multiple Specs)

Cell Type: NCM811-Graphite Pouch Dry Cell

Product Code: XN-NCM811-Gr

Description:

NCM811 / Artificial Graphite Anode Pouch Dry Pouch Cell pairs high-nickel NCM811 (Ni80) cathode with high-capacity artificial graphite anode in a fully assembled but unfilled (dry) pouch format. As a result, this configuration delivers the proven cycle stability and manufacturing maturity of graphite chemistry along with the higher energy density of NCM811 — making it an ideal benchmark platform for next-generation EV and industrial battery research. The cell features excellent rate capability from 0.2C through 3C with full capacity recovery upon return to 0.5C. Furthermore, the dry (unfilled) pouch format allows customers to inject their own electrolyte formulations for advanced electrolyte and additive research.

Application:

This dry pouch cell serves as a versatile research platform for lithium-ion battery development, including electrolyte formulation studies (the cell ships unfilled, allowing customers to inject their own electrolyte), high-nickel NCM811 cathode performance evaluation, additive screening studies, full-cell prototyping for EV and consumer electronics applications, and academic studies of NCM811/graphite electrochemistry at high power density.

Cycle Life Performance:

Cycle performance of NCM811-Graphite pouch cell. Discharge capacity remains highly stable across 65+ cycles, demonstrating excellent cycling reliability of the NCM811/graphite chemistry.

Rate Performance:

Rate performance test on NCM811-Graphite pouch cell. The cell maintains 95%+ capacity retention from 0.2C through 3C discharge rates, with significant drop at 5C. Full capacity recovery upon return to 0.5C confirms rate-limited (not damaged) behavior — excellent power capability for high-rate applications.

Characteristics:

Excellent rate capability (up to 3C)

The cell maintains over 95% capacity retention from 0.2C through 3C discharge rates. Moreover, full capacity recovery upon return to 0.5C confirms that 5C drop is rate-limited rather than damage-induced. As a result, this configuration is well-suited for high-power applications and rapid pulse discharge studies.

Mature, well-balanced chemistry

NCM811 (190 mAh/g) paired with artificial graphite (345 mAh/g) is one of the most extensively characterized lithium-ion chemistries in modern EV applications. Therefore, this cell provides a reliable benchmark for cycle life, rate capability, and aging studies, with rich published reference data for comparison.

Stable cycling performance

Cycle testing demonstrates highly stable discharge capacity across 65+ cycles. Consequently, customers receive a research platform with proven baseline cycling reliability — ideal for studying how electrolyte additives or operating conditions deviate from this baseline.

Dry (unfilled) pouch design for electrolyte studies

The cell ships fully assembled but without electrolyte. Therefore, customers can inject their own electrolyte formulations to study electrolyte effects on high-nickel cathode interface, SEI formation on graphite, and additive performance — critical capabilities for advancing NCM811/graphite chemistry.

Standardized stacked pouch architecture

Stacked-electrode (laminated) construction with PE 9+3 composite separator. Therefore, results are reproducible across labs and comparable with industry benchmarks for NCM811/graphite cells.

Multiple capacity grades + custom specifications

Standard grades cover 1 Ah / 2 Ah / 5 Ah. Furthermore, custom voltage windows, alternative separators, and electrode dimensions are available on request to match specific research requirements.

Recommended Activation Protocol:

1. Inject electrolyte at 3 g/Ah ratio. 2. Vacuum-seal the pouch under inert atmosphere. 3. Aging: hold at 45 °C for 24 h. 4. Pre-formation rest: 12 h. 5. Formation: charge at 0.1C constant current to 4.2 V. 6. Rest 10 minutes. 7. Discharge at 0.1C constant current to 3.0 V (1 cycle). 8. Final aging: hold at 45 °C for 24 h before subsequent cycling tests.

Packaging & Storage:

Cells ship vacuum-sealed under inert atmosphere in moisture-barrier packaging. Therefore, customers should store sealed in a cool, dry environment, protected from moisture. Open packaging in a dry-room or glovebox environment immediately before electrolyte filling.

Safety:

For research and industrial use only. Activated lithium-ion cells contain flammable electrolyte and high-energy electrode materials. Wear PPE during cell handling and electrolyte filling. Never short-circuit, overcharge, overdischarge, puncture, or expose cells to high temperatures (> 60 °C). Refer to SDS for complete safety information.
