Glove box is a kind of equipment with important application in various scientific research fields. It protects sensitive materials or experimental process by providing an environment without water and oxygen. What are the different roles of glove boxes in different research areas?
R&D and production field of lithium battery: during electrode preparation of lithium battery, the use of glove box can prevent reactive substances from reacting with water or oxygen in the air, and ensure the stability of electrode materials and the cycle life of the battery.
Physical and chemical research and material processing field: in the synthesis of sensitive materials, such as the synthesis of some metal organic compounds, the anhydrous and oxygen-free environment provided by the glove box helps prevent the degradation of materials during the synthesis process.
Powder metallurgy and atomic nucleus technology: in powder metallurgy, the glove box is used to prepare high-performance metal powder, such as titanium alloy powder, to prevent the powder from being oxidized in the preparation process. In atomic nuclear technology, glove boxes are used to handle radioactive substances and reduce the impact of radioactive substances on the environment and personnel.
Special welding and OLED/PLED research field: during the manufacturing process of OLED(organic light emitting diode), the glove box provides a water-free and oxygen-free environment to protect the organic materials from the external environment, so as to ensure the brightness and life of OLED display.
Pharmaceutical industry and solar cell field: in the pharmaceutical industry, glove boxes are used for the production of sterile drugs, such as aseptic filling of vaccines or biological agents. In the production of solar cells, the glove box is used to manufacture high-purity silicon wafers to ensure the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells.
3D printing and special lamp R&D field: when 3D printing high-precision medical devices, the glove box can provide a dust-free environment to prevent particle pollution during printing. In the development of special lamps such as LED lamps, glove boxes are used to handle sensitive fluorescent powder materials to ensure material stability and lamp performance.
These examples demonstrate the key role that glove boxes play in different areas by providing the controlled environment necessary to ensure the quality and performance of materials and products. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the application field of glove box is expected to be further expanded and deepened.
