Material refiners, battery manufacturers, OEMs and recyclers are all invested in meeting global carbon neutrality goals and developing the super battery. Developing safe, durable rechargeable batteries that satisfy “green” mobility initiatives requires significant investment in research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC), as well as expertise in production stages.
Sartorius provides solutions for several steps of the rechargeable battery manufacturing process - from material purity determination and in-process optimization to final release - with intuitive lab tools and integrated weighing solutions, further enhanced by multivariate data analytics.
Featured Products:
- Cubis II Lab Balance: With configurable hardware, software and connectivity, Cubis® II offers a high-performance balance that will align with your unique demands.
- Mark3 Moisture Analyzer: allows for precise, rapid measurement of moisture content in plastics, active materials or electrode coating. Measure water content in a lithium-ion battery without other volatiles, or use the system during the battery production process.
- Water Purification Systems: Ideal lab water systems streamline processes by giving users full control of quality parameters at the point of use. The innovative and flexible Arium® Smart Station addresses these requirements by letting you dispense ultrapure water in the exact quality and quantities required for your experiments - when and where you need it.
Battery innovation lab invests in weighing technology
An innovation lab in the battery industry sought weighing solutions for its R&D workflow focusing on solid-state batteries. It required reliable weighing in a dry, inert environment and fully automated balances with hands-free features. Sartorius recommends the Cubis® II semi-micro balance for accurate weighing in an Argon glove box, equipped with an automatic motorized draft shield, built-in ionizer, and motorized leveling. The solutions were integrated into the workflow, leading to positive experiences and a decision to replace part of the lab's existing balance fleet with Sartorius balances.
