Solid-state Battery Testing Cell Creation
This project aims to develop a solid-state battery (SSB) testing cell by replicating an existing one. Current SSB testing cells feature an outer shell made of high-temperature-resistant plastic, a ceramic core housing the electrical components, and stainless steel presses to apply high pressure and facilitate electrical conduction. Since SSB testing cells are costly, reverse engineering a pre-existing cell offers a more affordable option for mass production and use in laboratories.
