Summary

Machine-generated summary

CPI is procuring cell prototyping services to validate and evaluate electrochemical energy storage materials. The scope covers electrode manufacturing (mixing, coating and calendering), cell assembly in coin, single and multilayer pouch and cylindrical formats, and electrochemical testing including formation, cycling, GITT, EIS and HPPC. Providers receive slurry formulations, coated electrodes, cell specifications and testing protocols from CPI and must return finished test-ready cells, performance data and technical advice on cell-level optimisation. Services must deliver reproducible results for various liquid-electrolyte chemistries, mainly Li-ion with extension to Na-ion, using a transparent open-book approach to material specifications, with regular data reporting and secure handling of sensitive materials.
