Manufacturing Process
With increasing demands for higher battery performance and improved safety, a better understanding of the factors affecting performance, life cycle and possible failure mechanisms is essential. Measuring the chemical state of the cathode, anode, separator, electrolyte, contact layers and additives, at various stages of cycling, provides vital information about the electrochemical processes that occur during battery use. Eurofins EAG offers elemental and molecular analyses using different analytical tools to address this need. We also offer microscopy techniques to investigate morphology, particle size, particle coatings, mixing efficiency and defects. These techniques also include elemental mapping capabilities which can provide further valuable information about elemental composition and location/distribution.
