InSight Series

INTRODUCTION

Soft-pack (pouch) batteries play a critical role in both cutting-edge research and next-generation commercial energy storage. Yet studying their internal behavior during charge and discharge— especially over long cycles—has been limited by the constraints of traditional in-situ XRD methods. The InSight Series changes that.
This dedicated in-situ Transmission X-ray Diffractometer is purpose-built for soft-pack battery analysis. Unlike conventional reflective-style molds, the InSight Series uses a vertical transmission geometry to collect diffraction data from both the anode and cathode simultaneously—across the full cell thickness.
Paired with a high-intensity 1600 W Mo X-ray source, a photon-counting 2D array detector, and precision temperature control from -30°C to 300°C, the InSight Series offers unmatched resolution, speed, and stability for real-time battery material studies.

Why In-situ Transmission XRD for Soft-Pack Batteries?
• True Long-Term Cycling:
Unlike coin cell molds, soft-pack batteries offer superior sealing and stability for thousands of cycles.
• Full-Depth Material Insight:
Vertical transmission geometry collects diffraction data through the entire pouch— enabling dual-electrode analysis.
• Superior Resolution at Any Thickness:
Focused beam transmission ensures peak clarity, even in thicker pouch cells.
• Thermal Behavior Included:
Variable-temperature stage enables in-situ measurements at both sub-zero and high- temperature conditions.
• Electrochemistry + Structure, Together:
Seamless integration with an electrochemical workstation allows simultaneous control and data acquisition during charging/discharging.

• 1600 W Molybdenum X-ray Tube
Delivers strong, high-penetration X-rays optimized for soft-pack battery materials.
• Photon-Counting 2D Array Detector
High-efficiency, low-noise capture of fine diffraction details, with fast scan times.
• Transmission Geometry
X-rays enter through one side of the pouch and exit through the opposite—ideal for full-cell analysis.
• Temperature-Controlled Sample Stage
Wide range (-30°C to 300°C) supports studies of degradation, performance, and thermal failure.
• Precision Goniometer
Theta–2Theta geometry with a 144 mm radius for stable, accurate angular scanning.
• Compact Footprint
Lab-friendly design with powerful capability: 900 × 680 × 550 mm, 100 kg.

From anode intercalation to cathode degradation and thermal behavior, these performance examples demonstrate the system’s ability to deliver high-resolution, high-confidence data—in real time, inside working soft-pack batteries.
