Composition analysis of LIB cathode active materials by ICP luminescence analysis.

ICP emission analysis enables qualitative and quantitative analysis of approximately 70 elements, primarily metal elements!

We will introduce the composition analysis of active materials in LIB cathode materials using ICP emission analysis. The cathode material of lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is one of the important components that influence the battery's voltage and energy density, and the composition of the cathode material significantly affects the battery's performance. ICP emission analysis can determine which elements are present in a liquid sample and in what quantities. 【Features】 - Qualitative and quantitative analysis of approximately 70 types of elements is possible. - Applicable to various analyses, including qualitative and quantitative analysis of additives and impurities contained in the sample, as well as quantitative analysis of substances under the RoHS directive. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Introducing examples of measurement cases for important management items in the production of lithium-ion batteries and all-solid-state batteries!

We would like to introduce a case of particle size measurement of cathode active materials using laser diffraction conducted by our company. In air or liquid, laser light is irradiated onto particles, and the angular dependence of the intensity of light scattered by the particles is measured. The angular dependence of the scattered light intensity is measured, and from that data, the particle size distribution (particle size distribution) is calculated. Commercially available reagents were used as samples, and measurements were conducted in a dry state without dispersing in a solvent. The particle size measurement results for NMC oxide showed a monodisperse state with particle sizes below several tens of micrometers, and the median diameter was calculated to be 12 μm. 【Case Overview】 ■ Measurement Method ・Dry ■ Particle Size Measurement Results for NMC Oxide ・Monodisperse state with particle sizes below several tens of micrometers ・Median diameter is 12 μm *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The purity of the electrolyte greatly affects the performance of the battery! It suppresses the volatility of sulfur components and converts them into a form that can be detected by IC.

We would like to introduce an example of analyzing the purity of phosphorus pentasulfide using ion chromatography for the composition analysis of raw materials for all-solid-state batteries. Phosphorus pentasulfide is one of the raw materials used in the production of electrolytes for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. As a pretreatment for IC measurement, the powder of phosphorus pentasulfide was dissolved in alkaline water and converted into phosphate and sulfide salts. Subsequently, sulfide ions were oxidized to sulfate ions to prepare the IC measurement solution.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
