In-Situ Dendrite Observation Mold XN-YT09

In-Situ Dendrite Observation Mold XN-YT09

Mold Type: In-Situ Dendrite Observation Mold (Swagelok-Type)
Product Code: XN-YT09
Brand: Xnergy

Product Introduction

The XN-YT09 is a Swagelok-type in-situ dendrite observation mold for real-time observation of dendrite growth on metal anodes during charge and discharge. Through a high-transmittance observation window, it provides direct optical access for microscope or Raman analysis of dendrite formation and electrolyte/interface behavior.

Key Features

• High-transmittance observation window — 93% visible-light transmittance, with two window options: a quartz window, which excels in the UV band (especially deep UV below 200 nm) for systems demanding high optical purity; and a sapphire window, which excels in the mid-infrared (~3–5 μm) and withstands corrosive, high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
– Included notched plate — replaces the traditional separator and, while retaining basic isolation, opens a precise “visualization channel” for microscope or optical equipment. Available in φ10, φ12, φ14 and φ16 mm, with notch areas of 10.86, 18.85, 28.76 and 40.58 mm² respectively; its use is optional, per experimental needs.
– PEEK design — suppresses the tendency of dendrites to nucleate and grow along arc/transition surfaces, protecting the planar observation region and reducing the risk of edge short circuits or seal failure.
– High-quality, corrosion-resistant materials — the Swagelok body withstands up to 250 °C for short periods and -100 to 200 °C in continuous use, without becoming brittle when cold or melting when hot; the FKM sealing ring is rated to 200 °C.

Selected Materials

PTFE · Copper (body) · Titanium-alloy electrodes (default electrode post: pure titanium) · Fluoro rubber (FKM) sealing ring · Quartz or sapphire window

Specification

Applications

• Battery material research — widely used to study the dendrite behavior of various metal anodes (e.g. lithium, sodium, zinc) during charge and discharge.
– Basis for battery design — analyzing dendrite behavior provides key theoretical foundations and technical support for developing next-generation batteries with high safety and long cycle life.
– Electrolyte and interface research — combined with Raman spectroscopy, enables real-time analysis of chemical changes during dendrite growth.

Application Areas

• New Energy
– Lithium Battery Research
– Research Projects
– Electrochemistry
– Mold Customization
– Solid-State Battery

Customization

Customizable on request — the mold supports static-to-dynamic, single- to dual-chamber, and no-flow to flow experimental configurations. The electrode post is supplied by default in pure titanium; window type (quartz or sapphire) and electrode diameter can be selected to suit your experiment.
