Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology

R-Technologies acted as a General Designer and General Contractor. We developed the detailed design and then built the laboratory complex in accordance with it.

 

Laboratories are designed to carry out the following researches:

• Synthesis and study of materials and development of technologies for creating batteries of new generation with intercalation electrodes, including high-voltage and high-capacity lithium-ion systems, as well as storage devices using multivalent ions;

• Development of high-performance rechargeable metal-air batteries and fuel cells; special attention is paid to in situ and ex situ studies of the oxygen oxidation/reduction mechanisms and electrocatalysis necessary to create breakthrough current sources, primarily for electric transport;

• Development of production technologies for low cost high-capacity drives with using redox reactions of low molecular weight organic substances and nanostructured electrodes. 

 

The laboratory complex consists of:

• Laboratory room for glove cabinets for operations that exclude personnel contact with media and reagents.

• Chemical laboratory. Exhaust hoods, chemical storage cabinets, a hot-extrusion machine, and an evaporator are installed in this room.

• An area for x-ray diffractometers 

• An area for muffle furnaces

• Analytic laboratory. Spectrometers, microscopes, potentiostats are installed in the room.

 

Climate control systems, technological exhaust ventilation, water supply, power supply, compressed dry air, special gases supply, facility monitoring and control system, gas detection system were implemented.

As part of the project, a centralized process gases supply system was created for all laboratories located in the building. For this, we constructed a separate building for gas-boxes. Gas cylinders with nitrogen, oxygen, argon, sulfur hexafluoride are placed there.
