Staying competitive against new companies and joint ventures requires maximum profit per battery, and that means finding ways to streamline operations without negatively affecting quality and making confident, data-driven decisions.<\/p>\n<p>This rapidly evolving landscape makes battery quality control a key consideration \u2014 it\u2019s how you identify the line between a more cost-effective manufacturing process and one that turns out an inferior product. But how do you identify all the possible outcomes of a process change?<br \/>\nScanning electron microscopes are powerful tools for this type of quality control, delivering visual feedback of minute variations in battery materials. However, accurately measuring features of interest in large volumes of SEM data can still be a challenge. That\u2019s where automated image interpretation can help. Image interpretation software measures features of interest for you, removing operator bias and helping to ensure consistent, quality analysis.<br \/>\nHere are three use cases where automated image interpretation can deliver clear data.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 100%\"><strong>Use case 1: optimizing the calendaring process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After the coating and drying steps of battery manufacturing, the calendaring process makes sure that the cathode material is properly packed and adheres to the aluminum tape, which enhances the battery\u2019s energy density. If the mixture of particles and binder is poorly distributed on the cathode, you have an asymmetrical electrode. That reduces the number of cycles the battery can undergo.<br \/>\nTo measure the accuracy of the particle distribution as well as the height of the sample, you first need a cross section of the cathode. This sample can then be refined with a broad ion beam polisher to remove damage from the cutting process and expose a surface that better represents the sample for SEM imaging. Finally, the imaging data is loaded into image segmentation software, which can automatically identify the cathode layer and measure its height.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 100%\"><strong>Use case 2: validating packing density of active cathode materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_14182\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14182\" class=\"wp-image-14182\" title=\"Particle counting particle analysis with Avizo Trueput Software for battery quality control\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-1_Avizo-Trueput-PCL-Process_1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Particle counting particle analysis with Avizo Trueput Software for battery quality control\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-1_Avizo-Trueput-PCL-Process_1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-1_Avizo-Trueput-PCL-Process_1024x1024-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-1_Avizo-Trueput-PCL-Process_1024x1024-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-1_Avizo-Trueput-PCL-Process_1024x1024-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-1_Avizo-Trueput-PCL-Process_1024x1024-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Avizo Trueput PCL Process<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The sample preparation used in the first case study can also be used to validate packing density, which maximizes the amount of energy that the cell can hold, and examine cracks formed during calendaring that can impact cell lifetime.<br \/>\nWhile calendaring can help you reach your target packing factor by compressing particles closer together, it\u2019s not enough to ensure consistency when working at the production scale. You must also monitor the particle size distribution, or granulometry, to make sure that there are enough particles of each size to fill the gaps between larger particles. Optical microscopy can validate this to a degree, but scanning electron microscopy can help you definitively detect the smallest particles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14183\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14183\" class=\"wp-image-14183\" title=\"Particle size distribution analysis with Avizo Trueput Software for battery quality control\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-2_Avizo-Trueput-PSD-Process_1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Particle size distribution analysis with Avizo Trueput Software for battery quality control\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-2_Avizo-Trueput-PSD-Process_1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-2_Avizo-Trueput-PSD-Process_1024x1024-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-2_Avizo-Trueput-PSD-Process_1024x1024-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-2_Avizo-Trueput-PSD-Process_1024x1024-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/materials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/09\/Image-2_Avizo-Trueput-PSD-Process_1024x1024-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Avizo Trueput PSD Process<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Once the imaging data is collected, automated analysis not only identifies and measures all the particles in the image but also removes particles that touch an edge, identifies and distinguishes particles that are touching each other, and removes particles that are obstructed or overlapped by other particles.
