The detection of impurities in Li-Ion batteries often involves scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS/EDX). SEM/EDS is complex, time-consuming, and difficult to integrate into production. A recent approach combines optical microscopy and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) allowing simultaneous visual and chemical analysis for efficient QA/QC.
Creating a battery material with optimum power production and energy storage will require control of the particle size distribution of the electrode materials. Laser diffraction is a widely used technique for measuring particles size distributions for materials across a wide range of industries.
How do drug formulators optimize excipients’ processability and performance? Powder rheology enables their work with crucial data insights into excipients’ flow behavior and particle interactions. Powder flow measurements are increasingly important in pre-formulation and formulation stages as pharmaceutical developers continue to push towards quality-by-design approaches.
Manufacturing electrodes for lithium-ion batteries is a complex, multistep process that can be optimized through the utilization of slurry analysis and characterization. Process optimization requires a thorough understanding of the mixing, coating, and drying conditions of the slurry.
Each time we purchase food in convenience stores such as bread, milk, yogurt, and other ready-to-eat food, we know that these products have a limited shelf life. Food is perishable by nature and numerous changes take place in food during processing and storage.
Battery Test Chambers are used for endurance tests to characterize the cyclic and chronological aging of cells and modules for lithium batteries, as well as their aging under varying environmental conditions in order to determine the service life and performance of these components under changing conditions.

Battery slurry processing is one of the key steps in battery manufacturing that can significantly influence battery performance. Differences in slurry formulation can have a big impact on
a slurry’s stability and flowability. Rheology is used to evaluate the influence of graphite particle size and particle shape on the rheological behavior of a battery slurry.
Separators are critical components of lithium-ion batteries, acting as a barrier between the cathode and anode while enabling the exchange of ions. In addition to being electrically insulating, they must have good thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability. Thermomechanical analysis (TMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) are utilized to characterize coated and uncoated separators.
For any new electrode material to be successful for battery application, its crystal structure and structural stability with charge-discharge cycling are of critical importance.
