Analysis Techniques for Modern Battery Design and Manufacture

Battery electrodes (both anode and cathode) present an array of analysis challenges. Starting with raw materials, the particle size distribution will have an effect on finished product performance. And evaluation of changes in anodes and cathodes along with evaluation of separator materials is critical to understanding and optimizing performance. In this webinar, Drs. Jeff Bodycomb and Sergey Mamedov talk about particle analysis and spectroscopic techniques (Raman and XRF) for evaluating these important components that power 21^st century technology. They describe a range of techniques and give examples of their practical application.

Topics covered include:

• The importance of particle analysis of battery materials and how to determine the size.
• Spectroscopy techniques for chemical and structural analysis of electrodes, both ex situ and during charge / discharge cycle.
• Identification of defects in separators and electrodes.
