Ensuring technical cleanliness in lithium-ion battery manufacturing

 

In lithium-ion battery manufacturing, the presence of metal impurity particles such as Al2O3, SiC, and SiO2 can lead to internal short circuits, compromising battery safety and durability. Traditional methods like gravimetric analysis and optical microscopy are inadequate for detecting these small, high-hardness particles, causing potential quality and safety issues.

 

Thermo Scientific Perception Software automates impurity particle analysis, providing high-resolution imaging and chemical composition data. This advanced tool can help you rapidly detect small particles and perform detailed analysis, ensuring thorough quality control.

 

Implementing Perception Software can also help you rapidly identify and resolve contamination issues, which ultimately improves product quality, reduces risks, and enhances overall manufacturing efficiency. The system's precision and speed support high standards for technical cleanliness, crucial for producing reliable and safe lithium-ion batteries.
