    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 cathodes

    Going Electric – But How, When, and By Whom?

    Sales of battery electrics are surging, but the market is unsettled. In the last year companies have piled on the price increases, while mostly failing to meet their own production goals. But companies throughout the industry are ramping up their spending, with public investment (and regulation) pouring in as well.

    Is the focus on the high end or is the market moving mainstream? Yes.

    We will discuss product successes and failures, and what it will take for the latter to become the former. We will evaluate the major players including their key products, marketing approaches, and whether they have and/or will hit the mark.

    We will assess the outlook for industry participants as changes in production, manufacturing and design techniques, regulation, and battery technologies evolve.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Current sales and products, forecasted to 2030
    • The industry is throwing a party, albeit with different levels of commitment, sales, and production strategies
    • Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act and forthcoming EPA and California regulations
    • Opportunities and risks due to the evolving battery and materials market

    Solving Dielectric and Thermal Challenges in EV Batteries with Adhesive Tapes

    The use of electric vehicles in North America is on the rise, and the need for comprehensive safety measures for their batteries is essential. This talk will explore dielectric and thermal protection with pressure sensitive adhesive tapes as a key component of electric vehicle battery safety. We will discuss the benefits of such tapes, their basic composition, and how they can reduce the risk of failure due to electrical or thermal overloads. In addition, we will investigate how these tapes can be combined with other materials like aerogel, thermal ceramics, mica, foam, and more. Finally, we will consider some of the potential challenges and solutions associated with implementing pressure sensitive adhesive tapes in electric vehicle battery safety.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Understanding the challenges of dielectric and thermal protection in E-mobility
    • Learning how to address those challenges with different materials
    • Flame retardant mounting and encapsulation tapes
    • Emergency Thermal Propagation Venting tape solution
    • Puncture, abrasion, and high voltage resistant tapes for robust electrical insulation

    Detailed Approaches for Post-Mortem Analysis of Lithium Ion Batteries

    Performance degradation of Lithium Ion Batteries (LIBs) is an important problem not only battery users, but also for battery manufacturers and material suppliers. In this webinar, we will present two topics related to the Post-Mortem analysis of LIBs – one is the performance degradation of SiO anode, and the other is a detailed procedure for the quantitative analysis of electrolyte decomposition and SEI formation on graphite negative electrode.

    Toray Research Center can provide detailed and comprehensive data analysis of chemical and morphological changes, using latest instruments, to support material and product performance improvements. Customers can utilize the data set to investigate what may have happened inside the battery, and can correlate the performance degradation with that data analysis.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Lithium Ion battery
    • Post-Mortem analysis
    • SiO anode
    • Electrolyte degradation and SEI formation
    • Morphological observation and Composition analysis
