Operando cells & accessories

Everything you need to run operando X-ray diffraction on battery materials: cells, windows, holders and spare parts.

XRD operando cells

Same hexagonal design, same workflow — choose the geometry that matches your instrument.

Beryllium, aluminium and glassy carbon windows
Conductive windows

The right window for your beam

All our windows are good electrical conductors. They are available in several materials and thicknesses, depending on your wavelength and sample.

  • Electrically conductiveSome operando cells use Kapton or glass windows, which do not conduct electricity and can alter the electrochemistry. Ours all do.
  • BerylliumExcellent X-ray transmission, ideal for most operando diffraction setups, including laboratory diffractometers with a copper tube.
  • AluminiumA cost-effective, robust alternative for shorter wavelengths: molybdenum radiation or synchrotron.
  • Glassy carbonWell suited to measurements requiring low background scattering, at shorter wavelengths: molybdenum radiation or synchrotron.
