Full title and description

St IEC TS 62607-4-3:2015 — Nanomanufacturing — Key control characteristics — Part 4-3: Nano-enabled electrical energy storage — Contact and coating resistivity measurements for nanomaterials. This Technical Specification specifies standardized test methods for measuring the contact resistivity and the coating (film) resistivity of nano-enabled electrode materials and coatings, to support selection and quality assessment of coating composites and electrode formulations for energy storage applications.

Abstract

IEC TS 62607-4-3:2015 provides methods covering sample preparation, measurement procedures, experimental conditions, thickness measurement, data analysis and interpretation for both coating resistivity and contact resistivity of electrode nanomaterials. The document includes normative references, terms and definitions, and an informative case study demonstrating application of the measurement procedures to real electrode materials.

Scope

The scope covers standardized, repeatable laboratory procedures to determine (a) coating resistivity — the through-thickness/planar resistivity of a deposited electrode coating or film — and (b) contact resistivity — the electrical resistance at the interface between a coating/electrode material and a current collector or contact. It addresses sample preparation (substrates, casting slurry, collector strips), measurement set-up and instrumentation, thickness measurement, experimental conditions, and interpretation of results for nano-enabled electrode materials intended for electrical energy storage. The specification is intended for comparative evaluation and quality control rather than full product safety testing.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology specific to nanomaterial electrode coatings and contact interfaces.
• Sample preparation protocols: casting slurries, isolator substrates, metal collector strip layouts and reproducible sample geometries.
• Coating resistivity measurement: demarcation of method, thickness measurement procedures, recommended measurement conditions and data reporting.
• Contact resistivity measurement: demarcation of the contact test method, recommended experimental procedures and controlled test conditions.
• Data analysis and interpretation: calculation methods for resistivity values, uncertainty considerations and guidance for comparative assessment.
• Annexed case study demonstrating application of the methods to samples (example: supercapacitor and lithium-ion battery electrode materials).

These topics and procedural elements are described in the Technical Specification to enable reproducible, comparable measurements of resistivity parameters for nanomaterials in energy-storage electrodes.

Typical use and users

Typical users include battery and supercapacitor R&D laboratories, materials scientists, quality-control and manufacturing engineers working with nano-enabled electrode coatings, test laboratories performing materials characterization, and standards developers. The specification is used to compare coating formulations, qualify coating processes, and support material selection and supplier acceptance testing for electrode materials.
