MODVAL 2026

Modeling and Experimental Validation of Electrochemical Energy Technologies

Event overview

MODVAL 2026 is an international symposium focused on modeling and experimental validation of electrochemical energy technologies. The event will bring together researchers and industry experts working on batteries, fuel cells, electrolysers, and related energy systems.

Fluxim at MODVAL 2026

Fluxim will attend MODVAL 2026 and present a prototype battery testing tool for electrochemical characterization and validation in research and development environments.

Accelerate Battery Characterization from Setup to Insight

A new bench-top tool for cycling, EIS/GEIS, and thermal control – built for parallel cell testing and instant analysis of up to 8 coin or pouch cells.

  • Fast Set-up: Set up CC/CV/EIS steps in minutes

  • Richer insight: Built-in EIS/fitting and automated post-processing

  • Higher throughput: Parallel testing up to 8 cells with thermal control

  • Specifications

    • Cycling: ±10 V | 0.3 A to 10 A (4 ranges)

    • EIS/GEIS: ±6 V | 0.01 A to 0.1 A (7 ranges) | 2 mHz to 20 kHz

    • 2 mHz–200 kHz frequency range
