From Anode to Cathode: Integrated Characterization Solutions for Advanced Battery Materials

Stop Small Material Defects from Becoming Costly Failures
As battery manufacturing scales, the margin for error disappears. Relying on slow or incomplete material data creates bottlenecks and increases the risk of performance loss or thermal runaway.
In this on-demand webinar, application scientists demonstrate a production-focused approach to battery characterization. Learn how combining elemental, thermal, and microstructural analysis provides the fast, reliable insights needed to maintain consistency across the entire production workflow.
What Will You Learn?
- Rapid Elemental Analysis: How to use combustion and inert gas fusion to monitor Carbon, Sulfur, Oxygen, and Nitrogen in graphite anodes and LFP cathodes.
- Moisture & Ash Determination: Best practices for thermogravimetric analysis to ensure material purity and performance.
- Precision Metallography: A step-by-step guide to electrode preparation—from sectioning and mounting to the grinding and polishing of coated foils.
- Actionable Image Analysis: How to measure coating thickness and layer uniformity to identify defects before they reach the assembly line.
Build a more resilient battery strategy
Whether you are refining an incoming inspection process or troubleshooting in-process defects, this session provides practical workflows you can implement immediately.
