NETZSCH Lithium-Ion Battery Testing Instrumentation Co-Developed with NREL Earns a Prestigious R&D 100 Award

NETZSCH INSTRUMENTS NORTH AMERICA, LLC (NETZSCH) is honored to announce that the new Isothermal Battery Calorimeter IBC 284 284 developed based on National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s technology has been named among this year’s most significant innovations by R&D Magazine. Known in the research and development community as “the Oscars of Innovation”, the R&D 100 Awards provide a mark of excellence known to industry, government, and academia as proof that the product is one of the most innovative ideas of the year.

The need for better performing and safer batteries created a market opportunity for instrumentation designers in battery development. With this in mind, NETZSCH approached the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a leader in battery calorimetry technology, to develop a better way to detect heat loss in electric-vehicle batteries.
