Battery XRD Stage AXCH100-PB/AXCH100-BB
Product Detail
InSitu Pro™ AXCH100-PB and AXCH100-BB are battery heating & cooling test accessories designed for XRD: the AXCH100-PB is an in-situ heating & cooling test accessory for pouch batteries, and the AXCH100-BB is a heating & cooling test accessory for electrochemical battery cells. Both combine liquid-nitrogen cooling with resistive heating over a −100 to 100 °C range at ±0.1 °C stability, with a maximum heating & cooling rate of 10 °C/min, and share a 2θ 0°–164° diffraction window in Kapton film inside an atmosphere chamber. The PB pairs transmission optics with a silver 75 × 85 mm sample stage; the BB pairs reflection optics with a copper 30 × 30 mm stage.
Key features
- Built for battery XRDThe AXCH100-PB is designed for in-situ heating & cooling tests of pouch batteries under XRD; the AXCH100-BB is designed for heating & cooling tests of electrochemical battery cells. Cell-format and instrument-specific requirements are confirmed at quotation.
- −100 to 100 °C, LN₂ + resistiveLiquid-nitrogen cooling and resistive heating cover a −100 to 100 °C control range at ±0.1 °C stability on both models.
- 10 °C/min max heating & cooling rateThe specified maximum heating & cooling rate is 10 °C/min — one shared figure for ramps in both directions.
- 2θ 0°–164° through Kapton filmBoth stages share a 0°–164° diffraction angle through a Kapton-film window: the PB in transmission, the BB in reflection.
- Two stages for two cell formatsThe PB carries a silver 75 × 85 mm sample stage for pouch cells; the BB carries a copper 30 × 30 mm stage for electrochemical cells.
- Atmosphere chamber, full loop includedThe chamber is specified for atmosphere operation, and every stage ships with the temperature and cooling controllers, a 2.5 L liquid-nitrogen tank, and a water circulator.

Cooling to −100 °C on the diffractometer? Plan the run
Liquid-nitrogen cooling takes time, and the practical rate depends on the stage, the cell, and the target temperature. Set a start and a target below and see how a cooldown proceeds in the planner:
Model: exponential approach T(t) = Tmin + (T0 − Tmin)·e−t/τ — a first-order approximation for LN₂ cooldown, not a measurement of any specific stage. The planner's illustrative curve (~40 °C/min class) is a family-level teaching aid; the AXCH100-PB and AXCH100-BB specify a maximum heating & cooling rate of 10 °C/min, so real ramps on these stages are slower than the illustrative curve. Curves are schematic, not performance data.

FAQ
Which one fits my battery?
Choose by cell format first: the AXCH100-PB is designed for pouch batteries, using transmission geometry with a silver 75 × 85 mm sample stage, and the AXCH100-BB is designed for electrochemical battery cells, using reflection geometry with a copper 30 × 30 mm stage. Cell-format details are confirmed at quotation.
How cold, how hot, how fast?
Both models control from −100 to 100 °C at ±0.1 °C stability, using liquid-nitrogen cooling and resistive heating. The specified maximum heating & cooling rate is 10 °C/min.
What about the X-ray path?
Both stages share a diffraction angle 2θ of 0°–164° through a Kapton-film window — the PB in transmission, the BB in reflection. Instrument-specific scan geometry is confirmed at quotation.
Atmosphere or vacuum?
The chamber is specified for atmosphere operation. A vacuum system is listed as an option; the intended operating environment and final configuration are confirmed at quotation.
What's included?
Each stage ships as a complete loop: main unit, temperature controller, cooling controller, a 2.5 L liquid-nitrogen tank, a water-circulation system, temperature-control software, plus connection cables, tubing and accessories.
