Fuel Cell & Hydrogen

Adsorption and desorption under normal and high pressure. Reversibility. Storage efficiency. Thermal cycling. Thermal stability of materials.


The storage of hydrogen and the development of fuel cells are one of the main issues for the development of renewable energies in the next few years. Different groups of materials (nanotubes, nanofibers, zeolites, gas hydrates, metal hydrides...) are potential vectors for this hydrogen storage and are under investigation. Calorimetric and thermogravimetric techniques are ideal tools for this field of investigations.

An innovative line of Thermal Analyzers (-120 / 830°C) with 3D-Inside technology: DSC, High Pressure DSC, Robot DSC, TG-DSC-EGA
The SENSYS evo offers the most precise DSC sensor together with a truly symmetrical microbalance to give YOU a combined TG-DSC system with totally unmatched performance. Additionally both measurement sensors are totally independent,so can be operated independently or simultaneously without compromising performance.
SENSYS evo can be used in various configurations:
- DSC in horizontal or vertical mode
- High Pressure DSC(up to 500 bars at 600°C)
- Robotic DSC, with 48 samples, even under pressure
- Simultaneous TG-DSC-coupling to gas analysis (BET, gas sorption, FTIR, MS)

    Boston, MA - USA

    We will also be holding a workshop on November 4th entitled:

    An Introduction to Assesment of Batteries & Materials Using Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis

    A seminar designed to help understand the applications of calorimetry and thermal analysis in the assessment of batteries, cells and materials development. This includes everything from screening materials, to self discharge and of course abuse and overcharge testing.

    The agenda is a series of presentations that introduce the techniques, principles of operation and key measurement capabilities of different techniques as well as a review of data and publications in the recent months that describe experimental procedures being applied today throughout the battery world.
