A compact, bench-top solution for battery materials discovery and optimisation

The electrode stack is assembled into our optically-accessible coin cell and then mounted on to the illumionONE.

Easily define electrochemical test protocols in our acquisition software to control the system’s integrated potentiostat.

Seamlessly analyse charge photometry data alongside the synchronised electrochemistry data with illumion’s analysis software.

What our
users say

Here's what our users are saying about our flagship product, illumionONE

One of the most user-friendly devices for in-operando battery testing I've ever used. We achieved valuable in-operando cycling data of our anode material particles without any of the typical headache involved with setting up the technique which has been used to inform cell development.”

Laura Wheatcroft Scientist – Nyobolt

I think charge photometry fills a key gap when it comes to understanding the properties of battery materials, and how they degrade. They provide key insights about spatial heterogeneity of the electrode while in operation, which are very difficult to access via conventional X-ray or neutron methods. Even at the earliest stages, I was very surprised at how simple it was to use the instrument, even for someone like me with zero prior experience. I am sure that the recent developments have made the product even better, enabling it to directly slot into battery material development and R&D activities."

Dr Ashok Menon WMG, The University of Warwick

Charge Photometry is a simple to implement measurement technique that offers operando insights into the electrochemical behaviour at the single-particle level. It presents a new perspective to your material, enabling you to unlock its potential."
