Getting the measure of rechargeable batteries

10 Apr 2024

Precise weighing and sample preparation are critical throughout the lifecycle of battery design, manufacture and material recovery. Experts at Sartorius share their experience of supporting chemists in the analysis and manufacture of safe, high-quality batteries for use in a range of applications. Further, they emphasize the need for high precision in weighing to ensure battery quality and safety, along with the importance of data analytics in production optimization and safety assurance.

Integrated Weighing Solutions to Support Battery Manufacturing

Sartorius Group

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.

Balances and Moisture AnalyzersBalances & Moisture Analyzers / weighing scales measure static or dynamic loads. Features to consider when choosing an analytical balance include accuracy, capacity and resolution. Additional features and specialized balances include enclosures for weighing powder, microbalances for measuring small quantities, portable balances, moisture analyzers, top loading balances and internal calibration for measurements over time or with varied temperature.Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
