Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium ion battery detection research, in particular to a novel centrifuge tube device for lithium ion batteries. Background Art

[0002] The electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries mainly depends on the structure and performance of the electrode materials and electrolyte materials used. The study of electrode materials is certainly important, but the electrolyte, as an indispensable component of lithium-ion batteries, is an ion conductor that conducts between the positive and negative electrodes. The performance of the electrolyte and the interface conditions between the positive and negative electrodes directly affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries. The analysis of the electrolyte composition inside the lithium battery electrode is an indispensable and important link in the research and development of lithium battery electrolytes, and has guiding significance for the research and development and design of lithium battery electrolytes. During the centrifugation of the electrolyte inside the core, the following problems will occur when using ordinary centrifuge tubes. 1. The pole piece in the centrifuge tube collapses and shrinks during the high-speed centrifugation of the centrifuge tube, and the centrifugation fails; 2. The separated electrolyte cannot be aggregated during the centrifugation process, and will be absorbed by the pole piece, resulting in the inability to reasonably collect the electrolyte. The present invention can reasonably solve such problems, smoothly collect the electrolyte, and assist in the analysis of the composition of the electrolyte. Utility Model Content
