Optimise quality of electrode materials for battery manufacturing
Whether you work in battery research or battery development, our analytical solutions can help you achieve high performance faster and more easily. From Li-ion batteries to emerging technologies such as Na-ion, Li-sulphur, Zn-air, or graphene-based modifications, we can help you achieve the highest battery quality. Our solutions can also be used for graphene supercapacitors, which can supplement batteries in applications that need high power for a short time. 

Electrode material quality is influenced by several factors including particle size, particle shape, and composition. Take a look at the latest technologies we support for electrode quality control. 

If you would like to arrange a demonstration to assess the capabilities of any of the analytical technologies discussed, please contact us.

Particle size
Electrode material particle size plays an important role in battery performance. Particle size variation must usually be regularly measured and optimised to maintain consistent battery performance – ideally, over the course of the production process.

Based on laser diffraction, the Mastersizer 3000 offers the easiest, most accurate way of measuring cathode and anode material particle sizes.
 
For industrial process environments, the Insitec on-line particle size analyzer  provides real-time data for process control.  

Particle shape
Particle shape affects slurry rheology, as well as the packing density, porosity, and uniformity of electrode coatings. To achieve the highest levels of battery performance, manufacturers must be able to analyse and optimise particle morphology.

Morphologi 4 optical imaging tool can analyse the size and shape of statistically relevant ensembles of particles in just a few minutes, to empower you with all the critical information you need to optimise your battery slurry.

Morphologi 4-ID provides chemical composition and structure of electrode materials, enabling correlation with battery performance through Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopy (MDRS). 

Elemental composition
Deviations in composition or impurities in electrode materials can significantly affect final battery performance. For this reason, composition analysis is an integral part of the battery manufacturing process.
