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.
