OREANDA-NEWS. June 21, 2016. “We have chosen LRCS as a supplier because of the proven performance of its state-of-the-art LeRiChe’S battery cell as well as its well-established manufacturing facilities”, says Lutz Bruegemann, Vice President and General Manager XRD at Bruker AXS. “The combination of the LeRiChe’S battery cell with our world-class D8 diffraction solutions is a milestone for in-situ battery research in the home laboratory. The battery cell complements the other compelling features of the D8 family for battery research, such as Dynamic Beam Optimization (DBO) for the best data quality over a large angular range in the shortest measurement time and unique TOPAS for batch refinement of the thousands of datasets that are collected during the charge and discharge cycles.’’

“LRCS is pleased to supply our state-of-the-art in-situ battery cells to Bruker AXS, a global leader in X-ray technology with a long tradition of innovation”, states Christian Masquelier, Professor at LRCS. “More than a hundred peer-reviewed publications by LRCS, including some in Nature Materials, refer directly to the cell that has lifted the veil on some very original reaction mechanisms and helped identify future battery materials. We are excited by the proven performance of our LeRiChe’S battery cell combined with the cutting-edge Bruker AXS D8 diffraction solutions.”
