SyncorePlus Application Guide
This application guide describes important aspects of the evaporation of solvents and the concentration of a sample to a predefined volume using the SyncorePlus. Guidelines for the evaporation of your specific solvent and solvent mixtures are presented. They will help you to streamline your own process with sample applications, checklists, hints, rules, tables, and tests.
Graphene-based composites for lithium batteries by spray drying
Graphene-based composites can be used to improve the electric conductivity and cycling performance of lithium batteries (LIBs). In this whitepaper, learn more about the steps needed to obtain graphene-based composites using the spray drying technique. Benefit from an illustartion of how graphene-based composites are synthesized, learn about the function of various graphene powders in battery R&D and see process parameters for spray drying of various graphene-based material.

Your Evaporation Guide - Evaporating flask size
Achieve higher distillation efficiency when using a rotary evaporator by reading on the impact of flask size.
Generally, the larger the evaporating flask the greater is the evaporation rate. This is due to the greater turbulence inside a larger flask, enlarging the active surface and leading to a higher evaporation output. On the other hand, smaller flasks are advantageous when the residue needs to be collected for further quantitative analyses. Moreover, larger flasks generally allow easier handling.
Your Evaporation Guide – Rotation speed
Achieve higher distillation efficiency when using a rotary evaporator by reading on the impact of rotation speed.
The evaporation rate of a rotary evaporator is greater than that of static distillation apparatus. Moreover, the evaporation rate increases with higher rotation speed. This is, among other factors, due to the greater surface area inside the evaporating flask at one given time. Especially significant is the dissipation at lower rotation speeds. For instance an increase in speed above 200 rpm has a relatively low influence on the evaporation output. A rotation speed above 300 rpm can result in mechanical problems, vibrations and spillage from the heating bath. Thus, considering the advantages and disadvantages of different rotation speeds, the optimum rotation speed is around 250 to 280 rpm.
