Fiber Accessories by Dandong Tongda

Fiber Accessories utilize the X-ray diffraction (transmission) method to analyze the unique crystal structure of fibers. Parameters such as crystallinity and full width at half maximum (FWHM) are used to determine the orientation degree of the sample. ​ Main Functions and Features of Fiber Accessories: Maintaining Fiber Orientation: This is the most critical aspect. Fibers typically exhibit high anisotropy, with crystals preferentially aligned along the fiber axis. Fiber Accessories can straighten and secure fiber bundles, preserving their original orientation to measure orientation degree and distribution. Adapting to Different Sample Forms: Single Fiber: Extremely thin, requiring special clamps or frames for fixation. Fiber Bundle: Multiple fibers arranged in parallel; Fiber Accessories must align and tension them uniformly. Fiber Fabric: Materials like cloth require a flat frame to stretch them taut. Enabling Special Testing Modes: Transmission Mode: Suitable for thin fiber bundles or single fibers. Fiber Accessories include a dedicated frame to tension the fiber, allowing X-rays to penetrate the sample directly. Reflection Mode: Used for thicker fiber bundles or fabrics. Fiber Accessories provide a flat sample surface for this mode. Fiber Sample Holder: This is a simple metal or plastic frame equipped with slots or knobs. During operation, both ends of the fiber bundle are fixed to the holder, and knobs are rotated to tension the fiber, keeping it straight and parallel. The entire holder can be placed in the XRD goniometer for testing, similar to a standard sample. In summary, Fiber Accessories for XRD are specialized sample fixation devices designed for testing fibrous samples with anisotropic structures. Their core function is to maintain and regulate fiber orientation, while advanced versions may support in-situ stretching and other functionalities, providing critical insights into the orientation of crystal structures in fibers.

This accessory typically needs to work in synergy with an electrochemical testing system (such as the LAND battery test system) and an X-ray diffractometer (such as Tongda Tech's TD-3500 model). It forms a specialized battery chamber that allows X-rays to penetrate and probe the electrode materials of the battery during operation. The key lies in the design of window materials (such as beryllium windows) with extremely low X-ray absorption rates on the battery components, ensuring effective incidence and emission of X-rays. Simultaneously, the accessory integrates necessary electrodes, insulation, and sealing components to ensure normal electrochemical reactions and maintain excellent sealing during testing. Key Functions and Application Value The value of this in situ battery accessory lies in its ability to help researchers intuitively and dynamically observe a series of microscopic changes in electrode materials during battery charge and discharge processes: Real-Time Observation of Phase Transition Processes: Many electrode materials undergo phase transitions during lithium-ion intercalation and deintercalation. In situ XRD can capture the formation, disappearance, and transformation of these phases in real time, which is critical for understanding the battery's reaction mechanisms. Monitoring Lattice Parameter Changes: By precisely tracking the shifts in XRD diffraction peaks, subtle changes in lattice parameters can be calculated, reflecting the expansion and contraction of the lattice. This is closely related to battery performance metrics such as voltage platforms and cycle life. Unveiling Capacity Decay Mechanisms: Capacity decay during battery cycling is often related to structural degradation of electrode materials, side reactions, and other factors. In situ monitoring can correlate electrochemical performance degradation with structural changes, providing direct insights for improving battery materials and optimizing design. Accelerating New Material Development: For evaluating novel electrode materials, in situ XRD technology can quickly provide key information on structural stability and reaction pathways, speeding up the R&D process.
