YL02 CG Square Flow Battery Mold – High-Density Graphite & Brass, Membrane Cell, Peristaltic Pump System | Xnergy

Name: YL02 CG Square Flow Battery Mold

Mold Type: Square-Channel Membrane Flow Battery Mold (with Airtight Bottles and Peristaltic Pumps)

Product Code: XN-BM-YL02CG

Description:

The YL02 CG is a square-channel membrane flow battery mold for laboratory research. The mold features high-density graphite and brass electrode plates with a square flow channel in the middle, where a membrane can be placed between the graphite and brass plates so that the catholyte and anolyte flow independently through the two sides of the cell separated by the membrane. The complete YL02 CG set includes 2 airtight bottles, 2 peristaltic pumps, and 1 liquid flow mold. The mold is constructed from brass, graphite, and stainless steel, and product accessories include silicone hose. The peristaltic pumps operate at 12 V. The YL02 CG is acid- and alkali-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Can be customized and modified as required.

Application:

The YL02 CG is designed for laboratory membrane-based flow battery testing and electrochemical research. The square-channel architecture supports the placement of an ion-exchange membrane between the graphite and brass electrode plates, separating the catholyte and anolyte for independent flow through the two sides of the cell.

Characteristics:

Square-channel membrane architecture

The YL02 CG features a square flow channel between the high-density graphite and brass electrode plates. A membrane can be placed in the channel between the two plates, separating the catholyte and anolyte for independent flow through the two sides of the cell.

High-density graphite + brass dual-electrode design

The YL02 CG combines high-density graphite (the black electrode plate) with brass (the yellow electrode plate) on opposite sides of the membrane.

Complete mold set

The YL02 CG ships as a complete set including 2 airtight bottles, 2 peristaltic pumps, and 1 liquid flow mold. Silicone hose is included as an accessory.

Acid- and alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant

The YL02 CG is acid- and alkali-resistant and corrosion-resistant, suitable for use with acidic and alkaline electrolytes.

Independent flow loops for catholyte and anolyte

Two separate peristaltic pumps deliver the catholyte and anolyte through their respective sides of the membrane cell, supporting independent flow rate control for each side.

Peristaltic pump system (12 V)

The included peristaltic pumps operate at 12 V. The peristaltic pump design isolates the pump mechanism from direct electrolyte contact (only the silicone tubing contacts electrolyte).

Customization available on request

The YL02 CG can be customized and modified as required. Contact Xnergy for configuration options that match your specific research requirements.

Recommended Operating Procedure:

1. Clean all wetted-surface components (mold body, electrode plates, silicone hoses, airtight bottles) with deionized water followed by isopropyl alcohol; dry thoroughly before each use. 2. Cut the user-supplied ion-exchange membrane to fit the square flow channel area. 3. Pre-condition the membrane according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. 4. Place the conditioned membrane between the high-density graphite plate and the brass plate, then assemble the flow battery mold. 5. Connect the silicone hose between the mold inlet/outlet ports, the airtight bottles, and the peristaltic pumps. 6. Fill each airtight bottle with the appropriate electrolyte (catholyte and anolyte). 7. Power on the peristaltic pumps (12 V) and adjust flow rates as required for each side. 8. Connect the cell electrodes (graphite and brass current collectors) to the cycling tester or potentiostat. 9. After testing, drain the electrolyte safely, rinse all wetted-surface components with deionized water followed by alcohol, dry thoroughly, store any user-supplied membrane appropriately, and store the system in a clean, dry environment.

Packaging & Storage:

The YL02 CG ships as a complete set including the brass/graphite/stainless steel flow battery mold, 2 airtight bottles, 2 peristaltic pumps with 12 V power supplies, silicone hoses, and assembly hardware. Store in a dry environment protected from dust and chemical exposure. After each use, drain electrolyte safely, rinse all wetted-surface components with deionized water and alcohol, store any user-supplied membrane according to the membrane manufacturer’s recommendations, and store the system in a clean, dry environment.

Safety:

For research and industrial laboratory use only. Always wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat) when handling electrolytes — particularly acidic, basic, or other corrosive flow battery electrolytes. Operate the system in a fume hood when working with volatile or toxic electrolytes. Inspect silicone hoses, membrane, and connections regularly for signs of degradation, leakage, or chemical attack — replace any compromised components before continuing experiments. Power off the peristaltic pumps before any disassembly or component replacement to prevent unintended electrolyte spillage. Take care to avoid damaging the membrane during assembly. Refer to the included user manual for complete safety and operating instructions.

Note: Specifications listed above are typical and for reference only. Actual performance and chemical compatibility depend on the specific electrolyte, ion-exchange membrane, flow rate, and experimental conditions — consult published literature for guidance on specific membrane flow battery testing protocols.
