Electrochemical Testing ServiceElectrochemical Testing's analysis encompasses broad and detailed studies regarding the properties and behaviors of the materials by attempting to measure their electrochemical responses. In particular, this method is vital in the study of green materials because it gives vital information on the interaction that the materials have with their surroundings at the molecular and atomic levels. Electrochemical testing encompasses the analysis of current, voltage, and impedance measurements which are crucial for revealing the resistive, conductive, and corrosion degradation properties of the materials, thereby serving as an important technique in environmental materials science investigations.
The basis for electrochemical testing is the concept of electrochemistry, which is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between electricity and chemical change reactions. The basic tenet is that current, voltage, and charge are measured with respect to time or potential. An electrochemical system consists of a working electrode, a reference electrode, and a counter electrode. While the working electrode is the material that is being studied, the reference electrode has a stable potential and supplies a level of voltage. The counter electrode closes the electric circuit.
The most common electrochemical techniques include:
These techniques are based on the Nernst equation, Faraday's laws of electrolysis, and the Butler-Volmer equation, which describe the relationship between electrode potential, current, and reaction rate.
CD BioSciences provides all-inclusive services in electrochemical testing for developers and researchers interested in eco-friendly materials. We have advanced laboratory facilities with electrochemical instruments that allow for the thorough investigation of diverse materials. Moreover, our electrochemists, scientists, and technicians work collaboratively, ensuring that all of the required electrochemical processes and techniques for a project are conducted efficiently.
Corrosion and Degradation Analysis
We analyze corrosion and degradation in detail by measuring using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic polarization. These methods enable the measurement of the corrosion resistance, corrosion rates, and degradation mechanisms of green materials, offering insights into their performance and stability over a prolonged use period.
Battery and Energy Storage Testing
The battery and energy storage testing services offered by us include, but are not limited to, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge testing, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). These methods are essential in determining the electrochemical performance, capacity retention, cycling, and other stability parameters of battery and energy storage materials to facilitate development of sustainable energy solutions.
Sensor and Biosensor Characterization
For characterization of electrochemical sensors and biosensors, we use cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Our services permit the maximization of sensor performance for utmost sensitivity, selectivity, and reliability for environmental monitoring purposes.
Biomedical Materials Testing
We perform electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry as a part of our biomedical materials testing services. These methods serve to assess the biocompatibility, degradation behavior, and the electrochemical features of materials and devices intended for implantation. This aids in the development of biocompatible materials which are less likely to cause adverse reactions and are more efficient to integrate with human tissue.
Our electrochemical testing services can accommodate a wide range of samples, including metals, alloys, polymers, composites, and biomaterials. We specialize in the analysis of environment-friendly materials, such as biodegradable polymers, sustainable composites, and eco-friendly coatings.
