7 ways to supercharge process optimization in battery production

Discover the scientific instruments that you need to streamline your processes and shape next-generation batteries.??

Use laser diffraction for faster, better particle sizing?

Particle size is everything in battery manufacturing. It can make the difference between an electrode that offers peak performance and one that bleeds power between uses. To get the right mix of particle sizes for your performance goals, you need laser diffraction technology. Our Mastersizer range delivers rapid, accurate particle size distributions with industry-leading design and ergonomics.?

Spot crystalline defects at atomic scale?

Crystalline defects in battery materials are unavoidable – but they don’t have to be unidentifiable. Our X-ray diffraction (XRD) technology enables you to spot deviations from ideal structures in minutes, be it graphitization degree, cation mixing or the crystallite size, giving you the precise control you need to design top-of-the-class materials. They can even be integrated directly into an automated process line for maximum efficiency.?

Advance energy storage efficiency with elemental analysis?

Controlling the elemental characteristics of your battery materials is crucial to optimizing performance, ensuring safety, and advancing energy storage efficiency. However, traditional tools like inductively coupled plasma (ICP) are inefficient and expensive for most analysis needs. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments give you fast and accurate elemental analysis results for total process and quality control.?
