Our laboratory is equipped in four argon-atmosphere gloveboxes dedicated to battery research. Glovebox 1 is dedicated for sulfur free lithium ion work, Glovebox 2 for sulfur free sodium ion work, Glovebox 3 to is configured for lithium and sodium solid state battery work and Glovebox 4 to is configured for sulfur active materials in lithium and sodium ion systems.
Note: The number of user groups using the glovebox at the same time is determined by laboratory manager based on complexity of proposed activities within the ESAF. Generally no more than two users group per glovebox is allowed access at the same time. Please plan ahead. Check the schedule and request access as soon as you know your beamtime dates.
Except of local APS users, no long term sample storage in the gloveboxes is allowed. Check our laboratory glovebox rules
