  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

  Accelerating Factory Ramp-up and Quality Through Advanced In-line Electrochemical Techniques

  Battery quality issues in production — more specifically, slow identification of issues — severely hamper both new factory ramp-up and in-field device performance and reliability.

  By leveraging electrochemical techniques and the fundamental signatures of batteries during the end-of-line process, we can: 1) identify poor-performing cells before they would be otherwise be identified, 2) quickly correlate performance issues to upstream root cause, and 3) identify which electrochemical metrics are best correlated with long-term performance.

  In the webinar, we will delve into strategies to leverage end-of-line electrochemical characteristics, encompassing thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena. The analysis of these fundamental metrics enables the identification of quality issues early to accelerate new factory ramp-up and ensure the performance and reliability of shipped devices.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • The multi-year, multi-billion-dollar battery factory scale-up challenge
  • The impact of battery quality variation on devices in the field
  • Techniques to understand the fundamental electrochemical signatures of batteries
  • Use of these techniques to accelerate factory ramp-up and improve shipped production quality

  Manufacturing Analytics to Improve Battery Quality and Accelerate Factory Ramp

  The battery industry is racing to develop new manufacturing capacity as the EV and energy storage industries continue to outpace market expectations. Companies across the battery ecosystem have begun building new factories while facing the reality of long yield ramp times, supply chain immaturity, and a shortage of expertise — the typical gigafactory will take several years & billions in investment before reaching profitability.

  In this webinar, we’ll review the industry’s first software solution that enables battery manufacturers to rapidly understand cell quality and the link to upstream production and materials characteristics. This insight, when paired with the ability to control and improve production quality at unprecedented speeds, helps accelerate production ramp and improve overall cell quality.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Challenges around battery manufacturing scale-up and quality across industries
  • Understanding parallels from the semiconductor industry
  • Accelerating production ramp and improving yield, while reducing costs
  • Leveraging AI and ML capabilities to surface quality problems ASAP
  • How a fully integrated analytics solution can speed up battery manufacturing
