https://www.s4r.fr/shop/s4r-solidscantm-b-series-198 https://www.s4r.fr/web/image/product.template/198/image_1920?unique=80d8fdcThe S4R SolidScan™ B Series is an ultra-compact two-electrode compression cell developed for solid-state battery research, solid-electrolyte testing, interface characterization, impedance measurements, and electrochemical cycling.
Available in Ø8, Ø10, and Ø12 mm configurations, the cell combines a compact 40 × 40 × 38 mm format, opposed compression pistons, PEEK electrical insulation, and replaceable static FKM seals. Its fully disassemblable construction facilitates sample loading, cleaning, maintenance, and routine operation inside a glovebox.
Two versions are available: SolidScan™ B, designed for routine laboratory research, and SolidScan™ BP, the premium configuration featuring hardened SS410 components and a dedicated nickel contact interface for intensive use and advanced characterization. Depending on the selected diameter and external press capacity, the cell supports nominal sample pressures of up to 400 MPa.

S4R SolidScan™ B Series
The S4R SolidScan™ B Series is a family of compact two-electrode compression cells developed for the investigation of solid electrolytes, electrode materials, electrochemical interfaces, and complete solid-state battery assemblies.
Available in the standard SolidScan™ B configuration and the SolidScan™ BP configuration with nickel-coated contact surfaces, the series combines a compact 40 × 40 × 38 mm footprint, a nominal mass of only 325 g, opposed compression pistons, PEEK electrical insulation, and an airtight static sealing system.
A compact platform for solid-state battery research
Designed to streamline sample preparation, mechanical assembly, electrochemical testing, and routine cleaning.
Opposed two-piston compression system
The electrochemical stack is positioned between upper and lower compression pistons. During sample preparation, an external laboratory press may be used to apply the required compaction force.
After assembly, the cell screws establish and retain the mechanical preload applied to the electrochemical stack during testing. The cell does not include integrated force measurement or pressure monitoring.
Different stack thicknesses can be accommodated within the mechanical closing range of the selected configuration. Compatibility with unusually thick or complex assemblies can be reviewed upon request.
SolidScan™ B or SolidScan™ BP
Both versions share the same compact geometry, hardened stainless steel 410 construction, PEEK insulation, hard chromium surface treatment, and airtight sealing principle.
| Feature | SolidScan™ B | SolidScan™ BP |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Standard | Nickel-coated contact |
| Metallic Construction | Hardened stainless steel 410 | Hardened stainless steel 410 |
| Surface Treatment | 10 µm nominal hard chromium coating | 10 µm nominal hard chromium coating |
| Electrochemical Interface | Hard-chromium-coated piston surfaces | Nickel-coated piston contact surfaces |
| Sample Diameters | Ø8, Ø10, and Ø12 mm | Ø8, Ø10, and Ø12 mm |
| Construction | Fully disassemblable | Fully disassemblable |
Hardened stainless steel 410 with hard chromium protection
The metallic structure and compression pistons of both versions are manufactured from hardened stainless steel 410 to support the axial loads generated during sample preparation and assembly.
A nominal 10 µm hard chromium coating is applied over the hardened stainless steel to improve surface hardness and resistance to wear during repeated assembly and compression operations.
In the SolidScan™ B, the hard-chromium-coated piston surfaces provide the direct electrochemical contact interface. In the SolidScan™ BP, a nickel coating is deposited on the piston contact surfaces to provide a dedicated nickel interface.
Two static FKM seals
The cell uses two static FKM seals to provide an airtight closure when correctly assembled. The seals remain stationary throughout electrochemical testing.
Select the external press according to sample diameter
During sample preparation, nominal pressure is calculated from the force applied by the external press and the nominal compressed area of the sample.
| Model Size | Sample Diameter | Nominal Compressed Area | Force at 400 MPa | Approximate Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08 | 8 mm | 50.27 mm² | 20.1 kN | 2.05 tf |
| 10 | 10 mm | 78.54 mm² | 31.4 kN | 3.20 tf |
| 12 | 12 mm | 113.10 mm² | 45.2 kN | 4.61 tf |
From material characterization to complete-cell testing
Designed for academic and industrial research on solid electrolytes, electrode materials, electrochemical interfaces, and complete solid-state battery assemblies.
