Electrochemical Facility

The Electrochemical Facility prototypes thermal and liquid reserve batteries and high energy, high power, experimental batteries in two dry rooms; one room is maintained at below one percent relative humidity. In addition to battery prototyping equipment, the facility houses inert atmospheric chambers; a spin/setback air gun for realistic laboratory testing of reserve munitions batteries; chemical synthesis equipment; and analytic equipment for fabricating and evaluating highly energetic anodes, cathodes, and electrolyte materials and components for batteries, capacitors, and fuel cells.
