■Puncture Test The puncture test of the separator film is important for ensuring the safety and longevity of each cell throughout the entire lifecycle of the battery. The film must have sufficient strength to withstand punctures from dendrites formed during long-term use. In this application, it is crucial to ensure proper tension of the specimen and correct alignment of the upper contactor. The procedure for this test is similar to EN 14477 and ASTM F1306. ■Tensile Test The tensile test is used to confirm that the separator film can withstand all mechanical operations that occur during the manufacturing and use of the battery. To ensure reproducibility and productivity, and to prevent damage to the specimen before testing, proper alignment, insertion, and gripping of the specimen must be ensured. The procedure for this test is similar to ASTM D882 and ISO 527-3.

■180-Degree Peel Test The 180° peel test is a method commonly used to determine the adhesive strength of electrodes to the collector. This test can be conducted using a peel fixture that offers mechanical advantages, allows for easy alignment, and utilizes low-load grips and load cells. To ensure high productivity and accurately perform 180° peeling for each test, the best approach is to use pneumatic grips and metal substrates. ■90-Degree Peel Test The 90° peel test is another method frequently used to test the adhesive strength of battery electrodes. The 90° peel generally requires slightly higher loads compared to the 180° peel, but it allows for quick setup since the substrate can be omitted. The most common solution from Instron for this test is a standard 90° peel fixture or a pneumatic peel fixture developed for adhesive testing of electrodes. The 90° pneumatic peel fixture has improved reproducibility and throughput, allowing operators to consistently position and adjust test specimens at 90°. In the upper fixture, the pneumatic grip optimizes throughput and reproducibility, making it ideal for testing delicate materials.

■Tensile Test The standard tensile test is the optimal method for determining the mechanical properties of aluminum and copper foil specimens. Pneumatic grips provide consistent pressure with rapid processing capability for these high-capacity materials. Additionally, thin metal foils are susceptible to minor shifts within the grip, making accurate alignment of the specimens crucial for ensuring reproducibility and protecting the specimens. It is common to use ASTM E345-16 as guidance for this test. ■Automated Testing As battery production continues to increase and materials become thinner, productivity and efficiency become extremely important to meet demand. By combining recommended equipment with automated systems, it is possible to keep pace with the requirements for thinner, wider, and longer metal foil specimens while reducing operator burden and maximizing productivity while maintaining optimal results.

■Welding Joint Testing of Cylindrical Cells Cylindrical cells require multiple welds during assembly, including between the cathode tab and the cell cap, between the anode tab and the bottom of the can, and individual welds between tabs. To achieve high productivity and reproducible results, it is essential to correctly align these welds and use appropriate gripping solutions. ■Welding Joint Testing of Prism Cells The welding joints of prism cells are predominantly located between the cathode/anode tabs and each collector, as well as inside the busbar or the can itself. Breakage can occur at all locations, and consistency and durability need to be verified. ■Welding Joint Testing of Pouch Cells Pouch cells have the anode or cathode tabs welded together, with each tab welded to the cell terminals. Additionally, pouch cells have busbar welds that also require testing. In addition to proper alignment of fixtures and test pieces, versatile solutions that accommodate various sizes are crucial.
