XRF Analysis in Process Control of Battery Cathode Manufacturing
To optimize the chemical composition of the final cathode materials, it is first essential to control the chemical composition of the precursor and raw materials. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, which can characterize chemical composition and impurities from just a few ppm all the way up to 100%, is the best technique for controlling this parameter.
Specifically, XRF provides a simpler and more accurate way of measuring elemental composition than inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometry, as it does not require any sample dilution or acid digestion.
Malvern Panalytical specialists have developed a turn-key solution, including certified reference materials (CRMs) and calibration templates, for the analysis of both precursor and cathode material composition with the benchtop Epsilon 4 EDXRF or floor-standing Zetium WDXRF spectrometers.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• On-line and at-line XRF analysis of solutions containing Ni, Co and Mn
• NCM-certified reference materials for XRF calibration purposes
• Turn-key solution for the XRF analysis of NCM precursors and cathodesPresenter

Passive Mitigation of Thermal Runaway Propagation in Dense 18650 Lithium Ion Cell Assemblies
Utilization of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in various applications has been growing exponentially. LIBs offer some distinct advantages including high energy density, outstanding efficiency, long lifespan, and fast charging capability. Probably, the main disadvantage of LIBs is that a small deviation from normal operating condition may result in rapid self-heating accompanied by ejection of large quantities of flammable materials, which can cause fire or explosion. The failure process becomes more dramatic when many cells are arranged in large arrays in order to fulfill the power requirements by most of applications. Failure of a single cell can release sufficient energy to trigger failure into adjacent cell, which subsequently propagates throughout the entire array. In this webinar, a set of passive strategies to mitigate failure propagation will be presented. The dynamics, heating rates, gaseous emissions, and energetics of thermally induced thermal runaway propagation in dense arrays consisting of 12-15 fully charged 18650 lithium ion cells have been quantified to determine the effectiveness of these passive mitigation strategies.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Thermal runaway in lithium ion batteries
• Thermal runaway propagation in lithium ion battery packs
• Hazards associated with failure propagation
• Passive mitigation strategiesPresenter

Grid Security in Battery Energy Storage and Power Resiliency Applications
North American energy storage system providers are facing increasing demands from governments to source domestic solutions that address utility grid security concerns. However, energy storage still requires a global supply chain due to the early-stage nature of the domestic battery industry.
Join Nuvation Energy and e2 Companies for an exploration of how energy storage system integrators are delivering solutions that balance domestic sourcing requirements against global supply chain dependencies.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Domestically sourcing critical controls
• Identifying critical components for domestic sourcing
• Domestically sourced vs. designed and made in North America
• Ensuring security and reliability in your manufacturing process
• Software vs. hardware controlsPresenters
