AFM Scan Results

Energy Materials AFM Scan Results

Our Nano-Observer AFM series excels in the analysis of renewable energy materials, offering high-precision characterization of surface morphology, electrical properties, and mechanical behavior at the nanoscale. With advanced techniques like HD-KFM III and ResiScope, it is ideal for studying photovoltaics, battery materials, and energy storage systems. Supporting both research and industrial applications, it provides reliable, high-resolution data to accelerate innovation in sustainable energy technologies.

Animated story

Battery electrodes: ResiScope™ vs C-AFM

ResiScope maps clear conductivity from pA to µA; C-AFM saturates, adds capacitive effects and charges the surface.

01

The sample

A composite electrode layer on its current collector: pA binder, µA particles.

02

One scan, six decades of current

ResiScope follows the current across six decades.

03

A fixed range clips, and the surface charges

Saturation: every particle above 10 nA reads the same value.

04

The switch happens mid-scan

Soft Interaction Control: no shear, no scratching.

Animated story

The same question, at the nanoscale

What a solar cell does under light depends on how the light arrives. Reproduce the angle, and you reproduce the condition, then measure the response where it happens, on the surface.

01

The same range the sun covers over a day

Irradiance follows the elevation, from 20° to 90°.

02

Reproduce the angle

…and you reproduce the condition the cell sees in the field.

03

The same sweep, on the microscope

Continuously adjustable on a graduated arc, locked at any angle onto the sample.
