BATTERY RESEARCH AND QUALITY CONTROL SOLUTIONS Benefit from physical, chemical and structural insight

MONITOR AND OPTIMIZE AT EVERY STAGE DISCOVER NEW HORIZONS IN BATTERY QUALITY Empower your research and production with advanced analytical solutions The age of the battery is well underway. Lithium-ion batteries, for example, have already revolutionized our day-to-day lives - from smart mobile devices to pollution-free electric cars and intelligent power management solutions. And, looking ahead, batteries also have the potential to provide an economical solution for mass energy storage and complement renewable energy resources for power grid applications. Despite these successes, gaps in...

Cathode material production is just one example of how our solutions enable quality at every stage of the manufacturing process. As one of the first stages in battery production, quality control is especially important to cathode manufacturing - and battery manufacturers must implement it all while minimizing costs. Our solutions can be used as cathode characterization tools at several stages of the cathode production process, from co-precipitation and precursor quality control, down to optimizing calcination and the final material. By providing manufacturers with morphological, structural,...

OUR RESEARCH AND QUALITY CONTROL SOLUTIONS Superior particle size distribution measurement Delivering an optimal and consistent particle size distribution doesn’t just add value to electrode materials, it’s key to ensuring final product quality – enabling manufacturers to optimize; slurry viscosity and flow behavior; coating packing density and porosity; battery cell charge rate capacity and cycling durability. To meet this need, Malvern Panalytical offers an industrystandard particle size measuring tool; the Mastersizer 3000. Based on laser diffraction, it offers industrial-level...

SUPERIOR END-TO-END GAUGING SOLUTIONS PARTICLE MORPHOLOGY Enabling better insight into electrode material morphology Opening new process control possibilities When it comes to electrode coatings, coat weight and thickness consistency is vital: Slight discrepancies in coat weight or thickness uniformity may drastically affect process efficiency and final battery performance. And, when the measurements are so critical, component manufacturers need fast, efficient ways to measure these variations. To address these challenges and deliver unparalleled process visibility and control, Malvern...

Deviations in chemical composition or impurities in electrode materials can significantly affect final battery performance. For this reason, chemical composition and elemental impurity analysis are an integral part of the battery manufacturing process. However, the often-used inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis is not always the best tool for this. Requiring sample digestion and frequent calibration, ICP is inefficient and expensive for most elemental analysis needs. To provide a simpler way to analyze elemental composition and detect impurities down to ppm level, we offer X-ray...

CRYSTALLINE PHASE COMPOSITION ZETA POTENTIAL ANALYSIS Unlocking atomic-level exploration Enabling slurry stability insight In electrode slurry production, zeta potential (related to charge charge on particle) plays an important role in slurry stability. Low zeta potential can result in agglomeration and aggregation of particles – causing unstable particle dispersion in slurries and, in turn, compromising battery quality. So, being able to accurately monitor and optimize zeta potential isn’t just useful to battery manufacturers – it’s essential. Typical XRD pattern of a Lithium Manganese...

BATTERY CELL CHARACTERIZATION POUCH AND PRISMATIC CELLS Delivering in operando X-ray diffraction Unlocking the full story with hard radiation transmission What’s more, multilayer pouch cells up to 5 mm thick can also be analyzed on the Empyrean XRD platform, when equipped with high energy Ag radiation and a GaliPIX 3D detector. The Empyrean supports 60 kV excitation, enabling the high-intensity 22.16 keV Ag radiation suitable for pouch cell research. Special multilayer focusing mirrors deliver high resolution and a high brilliance X-ray beam, further shortening the measurement times. COIN...
