NTNU

NTNU hosts equipment for advanced interface characterization, including and AFM and cross section cutter as an add-on to a SEM.

Alternative Chemistry Laboratory

Glove box installed, including press for 2032 coin cells, pouch cell fabrication and mixing of electrolytes. Dedicated to research on Na-ion batteries. Focus on hard carbon from locally (Norwegian) sourced saw-dust.
