EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) Spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) Spectroscopy, is a versatile analytical technique used to study materials containing unpaired electrons. Through careful manipulation of the electron spins EPR spectroscopy can provide valuable insights into molecular structure, dynamics, and electronic properties.

In this blog post, we will delve into the advantages of EPR spectroscopy and its wide range of applications.

 

Highly sensitive detection:

EPR spectroscopy is extremely sensitive and can detect and characterize paramagnetic species even at very low concentrations. It can identify and quantify trace amounts of free radicals, transition metal ions, and unstable molecular species. This sensitivity makes EPR spectroscopy an invaluable tool for the study of a variety of biological processes such as oxidative stress, enzyme reactions, and DNA damage, as well as for materials research in areas such as physics and materials science.

 

Structural Information:

EPR spectroscopy provides valuable information about the structure and environment of paramagnetic species. By measuring the g-factor (a dimensionless number representing the spin behavior of electrons) and hyperfine splitting (resulting from electron-nucleus interactions), researchers can infer the electronic structure, bond distances, coordination environments, and magnetic properties of the substance under study. This structural insight is essential for understanding chemical reaction mechanisms and for designing and optimizing catalysts and materials with specific properties.

 

Dynamic process studies:

EPR spectroscopy can study dynamic processes in a variety of systems. For example, it can probe the motion and dynamics of spin-labeled biomolecules and is used to study protein folding, membrane dynamics, and enzyme dynamics. By monitoring changes in the EPR signal over time, researchers can gain insight into reaction rates, conformational changes, and molecular interactions. The ability to study dynamic processes in real-time makes EPR an important tool in biochemistry and biophysics.

 

Non-destructive and versatile:

EPR spectroscopy is a non-destructive technique that allows researchers to study samples without altering their integrity or composition. This advantage is particularly important when studying fragile biological samples, where it is critical to maintain the integrity of the sample. In addition, EPR spectroscopy is versatile and applicable to many types of samples, including liquid, solid, gas and biological samples. This versatility allows researchers to address a wide range of scientific questions in different disciplines.

 

Complementary Techniques:

EPR spectroscopy is often used in conjunction with other analytical techniques such as NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry. These complementary techniques allow researchers to correlate structural, electronic, and magnetic information to gain a more complete understanding of chemical systems. By combining EPR spectroscopy with other methods, researchers can characterize complex materials and biomolecules in greater detail and with greater reliability.

 

EPR spectroscopy plays a vital role in modern scientific research, providing unique insights into the structure, dynamics, and properties of paramagnetic species. Its sensitivity, ability to provide structural information, and non-destructive nature make it an indispensable tool in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Through the continued advancement and application of EPR spectroscopy, we can deepen our understanding of the natural world and devise innovative solutions to complex challenges in fields as diverse as chemistry, biology, and materials science.

High-performance lithium copper foil is one of the key materials for lithium-ion batteries and is closely related to battery performance. With the increasing demand for higher capacity, higher density, and faster charging in electronic devices and new energy vehicles, the requirements for battery materials have also been raised. In order to achieve better battery performance, it is necessary to improve the overall technical indicators of lithium copper foil, including its surface quality, physical properties, stability, and uniformity.

 

Analysis of microstructure using scanning electron microscope-EBSD technique

 

In materials science, the composition and microstructure determine the mechanical properties. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a commonly used scientific instrument for the surface characterization of materials, allowing observation of the surface morphology of copper foil and the distribution of grains. In addition, Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a widely used characterization technique for analyzing the microstructure of metallic materials. By configuring an EBSD detector on a field-emission scanning electron microscope, researchers can establish the relationship between processing, microstructure, and mechanical properties.

 

The figure below shows the surface morphology of electrolytic copper foil captured by the CIQTEK Field-emission SEM5000

 

Copper Foil Smooth Surface/2kV/ETD

Copper Foil Matte Surface/2kV/ETD

When the sample surface is sufficiently flat, electron channel contrast imaging (ECCI) can be obtained using the SEM backscatter detector. The electron channeling effect refers to a significant reduction in the reflection of electrons from crystal lattice points when the incident electron beam satisfies the Bragg diffraction condition, allowing many electrons to penetrate the lattice and exhibit a "channeling" effect. Therefore, for polished flat polycrystalline materials, the intensity of backscatter electrons depends on the relative orientation between the incident electron beam and the crystal planes. Grains with larger misorientation will yield stronger backscattered electron signals and higher contrast, enabling the qualitative determination of grain orientation distribution through ECCI.

 

The advantage of ECCI lies in its ability to observe a larger area on the sample surface. Therefore, before EBSD acquisition, ECCI imaging can be used for rapid macroscopic characterization of the microstructure on the sample surface, including observation of grain size, crystallographic orientation, deformation zones, etc. Then, EBSD technology can be used to set the appropriate scanning area and step size for crystallographic orientation calibration in the regions of interest. The combination of EBSD and ECCI fully utilizes the advantages of crystallographic orientation imaging techniques in materials research.

 

By using ion beam cross-section polishing technology, CIQTEK obtains flat copper foil cross-sections that fully meet the requirements for ECCI imaging and EBSD analysis on scanning electron microscopes.

 

The figure below shows the characterization of electrolytic copper foil using the CIQTEK Field-emission SEM5000

EBSD technology can not only characterize the grain size and dimensions but also reveal information about the material's texture type, grain boundary proportion, etc. By studying the microstructural evolution of electrolytic copper foil through ion beam sample preparation combined with SEM and EBSD techniques, it is of great significance to evaluate the differences in processing effects, further optimize the electrochemical properties of materials, improve battery cycle life, and even promote the development of lithium-ion battery technology.

It can be said that optical communication products fill all aspects of our life and work. However, the production and use environment of optical communication products is often changeable, such as high or low temperature weather environment when working outdoors, or the use of a long time will also encounter changes in thermal expansion and contraction. So how is the reliable use of these products achieved? That has to mention our protagonist today - rapid temperature change test chamber, also known as TC box in the optical communication industry. In order to ensure that optical communication products still work normally under various environmental conditions, it is necessary to carry out rapid temperature change tests on optical communication products. The rapid temperature change test chamber can simulate a variety of different temperature and humidity environments, and simulate instantaneous extreme environmental changes in the real world within a rapid range. So how is the rapid temperature change test chamber applied in the optical communication industry?

In summary, it can be seen that in the optical communication industry, the rapid temperature change test chamber is usually used to test the performance and reliability of optical modules and optical devices. Then when we use the rapid temperature change test chamber for testing, different optical communication products may require different standards. The following are rapid temperature change test standards for some common optical communication products:

ASTM F2181: This standard defines a method for fiber failure testing under high temperature and high humidity environmental conditions to evaluate the long-term durability of the fiber. And the above standards such as GB/T 2423.22-2012 are tested and evaluated for the reliability of optical fiber in rapid temperature changes or long-term high temperature and high humidity environments, which can help the majority of manufacturers to ensure the quality and reliability of optical fiber products.

2. Photoelectric converter/optical module: The common rapid temperature change test standards are GB/T 2423.22-2012, GR-468-CORE, EIA/TIA-455-14 and IEEE 802.3. These standards mainly cover the test methods and specific implementation steps of photoelectric converters/optical modules, which can ensure the performance and reliability of products in different temperature environments. Among them, the GR-468-CORE standard is specifically for the reliability requirements of optical converters and optical modules, including temperature cycle test, wet heat test and other environmental tests, requiring optical converters and optical modules to maintain stable and reliable performance in long-term use.

3. Optical sensor: The common rapid temperature change test standards are GB/T 27726-2011, IEC 61300-2-43 and IEC 61300-2-6. These standards mainly cover the test methods and specific implementation steps of the temperature change test of the optical sensor, which can ensure the performance and reliability of the product in different temperature environments. Among them, the GB/T 27726-2011 standard is the standard for the performance test method of optical sensors in China, including the environmental test method of optical fiber sensors, which requires the optical sensor to maintain stable performance in a variety of working environments. IEC 60749-15 standard is the international standard for the temperature cycle test of electronic components, and it also has reference value for the rapid temperature change test of optical sensors.

4. Laser: Common rapid temperature change test standards are GB/T 2423.22-2012 "Electrical and electronic products environmental test Part 2: Test Nb: temperature cycle test", GB/T 2423.38-2002 "Basic test methods for electrical components Part 38: Temperature resistance test (IEC 60068-2-2), GB/T 13979-2009 "Laser product Performance test method", IEC 60825-1, IEC/TR 61282-10 and other standards mainly cover the laser temperature change test method and specific implementation steps.

During the test, the optical controller needs to perform temperature cycling in the range of -40 ° C to 85 ° C. During the temperature cycle, the module should maintain normal function and not produce abnormal output, and the test time is 100 temperature cycles. GR-1221-CORE is a reliability standard for fiber optic passive devices and is suitable for the testing of passive devices. Among them, the temperature cycle test is one of the test items, which also requires the optical controller to be tested in the range of -40 ° C to 85 ° C, and the test time is 100 cycles. Both of these standards specify the reliability test of the optical controller in the environment of temperature change, which can determine the stability and reliability of the optical controller under harsh environmental conditions.

In general, different rapid temperature change test standards may focus on different test parameters and test methods, it is recommended to choose the corresponding test standards according to the use of specific products.

Recently, when we discuss the reliability verification of optical modules, there is a contradictory indicator, the number of temperature cycles of optical module verification, there are 10 times, and 20 times, 100 times, or even 500 times.

IEC 60068-2 Combined Condensation and Temperature and Humidity Test

In the IEC60068-2 specification, there are a total of five kinds of humid heat tests. In addition to the common 85℃/85%R.H., 40℃/93%R.H. fixed-point high temperature and high humidity, there are two more special tests [IEC60068-2-30, IEC60068-2-38], they are alternating wet and humid cycle and temperature and humidity combined cycle, so the test process will change temperature and humidity. Even multiple groups of program links and cycles applied in IC semiconductors, parts, equipment, etc. To simulate the outdoor condensation phenomenon, evaluate the material's ability to prevent water and gas diffusion, and accelerate the product's tolerance to deterioration, the five specifications are organized into a comparison table of the differences in the wet and heat test specifications, and the main points of the test are explained in detail for the wet and heat combined cycle test, and the test conditions and points of GJB in the wet and heat test are supplemented.

IEC60068-2-30 alternating humid heat cycle test

Note: This test uses the test technique of maintaining humidity and temperature alternations to make moisture permeate into the sample and produce condensation (condensation) on the surface of the product to confirm the adaptability of the component, equipment or other products in use, transportation and storage under the combination of high humidity and temperature and humidity cycle changes. This specification is also suitable for large test samples. If the equipment and the test process need to keep the power heating components for this test, the effect will be better than IEC60068-2-38, the high temperature used in this test has two (40 °C, 55 °C), the 40 °C is to meet most of the world's high temperature environment, while 55 °C meets all the world's high temperature environment, the test conditions are also divided into [cycle 1, cycle 2], In terms of severity, [Cycle 1] is higher than [Cycle 2].

Suitable for side products: components, equipment, various types of products to be tested

Test environment: the combination of high humidity and temperature cyclic changes produces condensation, and three kinds of environments can be tested [use, storage, transportation ([packaging is optional)]

Test stress: Breathing causes water vapor to invade

Whether power is available: Yes

Not suitable for: parts that are too light and too small

Test process and post-test inspection and observation: check the electrical changes after moisture [do not take out the intermediate inspection]

Test conditions: humidity: 95% R.H. warming] after [humidity maintain (25 + 3 ℃ low temperature - - high temperature 40 ℃ or 55 ℃)

Rising and cooling rate: heating (0.14℃/min), cooling (0.08~0.16℃/min)

Cycle 1: Where absorption and respiratory effects are important features, the test sample is more complex [humidity not less than 90%R.H]

Cycle 2: In the case of less obvious absorption and respiratory effects, the test sample is simpler [humidity is not less than 80%R.H.]

IEC60068-2-30 Alternating temperature and humid test (condensation test)

Note: For component types of parts products, a combination test method is used to accelerate the confirmation of the test sample's tolerance to degradation under high temperature, high humidity and low temperature conditions. This test method is different from the product defects caused by respiration [dew, moisture absorption] of IEC60068-2-30. The severity of this test is higher than that of other humid heat cycle tests, because there are more temperature changes and [respiration] during the test, and the cycle temperature range is larger [from 55℃ to 65℃]. The temperature variation rate of the temperature cycle also becomes faster [temperature rise :0.14℃/min becomes 0.38℃/min, 0.08℃/min becomes 1.16 ℃/min]. In addition, different from the general humid heat cycle, the low temperature cycle condition of -10℃ is increased, which accelerates the breathing rate and makes the water condensing in the gap of the substitute icing. Is the characteristic of this test specification, the test process allows power and load power test, but can not affect the test conditions (temperature and humidity fluctuation, rising and cooling rate) because of the heating of the side product after power, due to the change of temperature and humidity during the test process, but the top of the test chamber can not condenses water droplets to the side product.

Suitable for side products: components, metal components sealing, lead end sealing

Test environment: combination of high temperature, high humidity and low temperature conditions

Test stress: accelerated breathing + frozen water

Whether it can be powered on: it can be powered on and external electric load (it can not affect the conditions of the test chamber because of power heating)

Not applicable: Can not replace moist heat and alternating humid heat, this test is used to produce defects different from respiration

Test process and post-test inspection and observation: check the electrical changes after moisture [check under high humidity conditions and take out after test]

Test conditions: damp temperature and humidity cycle (25 ↔ 65 + 2 ° C / 93 + 3% r.h.) - low temperature cycle (25 ↔ 65 + 2 ℃ / 93 + 3% r.h. -- 10 + 2 ° C) X5 cycle = 10 cycle

Rising and cooling rate: heating (0.38℃/min), cooling (1.16 °C/min)

GJB150-o9 humid heat test

Description: The wet and heat test of GJB150-09 is to confirm the ability of equipment to withstand the influence of hot and humid atmosphere, suitable for equipment stored and used in hot and humid environment, equipment prone to high humidity storage or use, or equipment may have potential problems related to heat and humidity. Hot and humid locations may occur throughout the year in tropical areas, seasonal occurrences in mid-latitudes, and in equipment subjected to comprehensive changes in pressure, temperature and humidity. The specification specifically emphasizes 60 ° C /95%R.H. This high temperature and humidity does not occur in nature, nor does it simulate the humid and thermal effect after solar radiation, but it can find potential problems in the equipment. However, it is not possible to reproduce complex temperature and humidity environments, assess long-term effects, and reproduce humidity effects associated with low humidity environments.

The environmental test of the sample can be uniform and linear through the use of standardized standards. Environmental testing can simulate whether the product can adapt to environmental changes (temperature, humidity, vibration, temperature change, temperature shock, salt spray, dust) at different stages (storage, transport, use). And verify that the characteristics and quality of the product itself will not be affected by it, low temperature, high temperature, temperature impact can produce mechanical stress, this stress makes the test sample more sensitive to the subsequent test, impact, vibration can produce mechanical stress, this stress can make the sample immediately damaged, air pressure, alternating humid heat, constant humid heat, corrosion application of these tests and can be continued thermal and mechanical stress test effects.

Reliability - Environment

Reliability analysis is based on quantitative data as the basis of product quality, through the experimental simulation, the product in a given time, specific use of environmental conditions, the implementation of specific specifications, the probability of successful completion of work objectives, to quantitative data as the basis for product quality assurance. Among them, environmental testing is a common analysis item in reliability analysis.

Environmental reliability testing is a test performed to ensure that the functional reliability of a product is maintained during the specified life period, under all circumstances in which it is intended to be used, transported or stored. The specific test method is to expose the product to natural or artificial environmental conditions, to evaluate the performance of the product under the environmental conditions of actual use, transportation and storage, and to analyze the impact of environmental factors and their mechanism of action.

Comparison of EVA bond strength at high temperature and humidity:

Description: EVA film at 65℃/85%R.H and 85℃/85%R.H. The degradation of the bond strength was compared at 65℃/85%R.H under two different wet and hot conditions. After 5000 hours of testing, the degradation benefit is not high, but EVA at 85℃/85%R.H. In the test environment, the adhesion is quickly lost, and there is a significant reduction in bond strength in 250 hours.

EVA-HAST unsaturated pressurized vapor test:

Objective: Since EVA film needs to be tested for more than 1000 hours at 85℃/85%R.H., which is equal to at least 42 days, in order to shorten the test time and accelerate the test speed, it is necessary to increase the environmental stress (temperature & humidity & pressure) and speed up the test process in the environment of unsaturated humidity (85%R.H.).

Test conditions: 110℃/85%R.H./264h

EVA-PCT pressure digester test:

Objective: The PCT test of EVA is to increase the environmental stress (temperature & humidity) and expose EVA to wetting vapor pressure exceeding one atmosphere, which is used to evaluate the sealing effect of EVA and the moisture absorption status of EVA.

Test condition: 121℃/100%R.H.

Test time: 80h(COVEME) / 200h(toyal Solar)

EVA and CELL bond tensile force test:

EVA: 3 ~ 6Mpa Non-EVA material: 15Mpa

Additional information from EVA:

1. The water absorption of EVA will directly affect its sealing performance of the battery

2.WVTR < 1×10-6g/m2/day(NREL recommended PV WVTR)

3. The adhesive degree of EVA directly affects its impermeability. It is recommended that the adhesive degree of EVA and cell should be greater than 60%

4. When the bonding degree reaches more than 60%, thermal expansion and contraction will no longer occur

5. The bonding degree of EVA directly affects the performance and service life of the component

6. Unmodified EVA has low cohesion strength and is prone to thermal expansion and contraction leading to chip fragmentation

7.EVA peeling strength: longitudinal ≧20N/cm, horizontal ≧20N/cm

8. The initial light transmittance of the packaging film is not less than 90%, and the internal decline rate of 30 years is not less than 5%
