Quality control of analytical parameters in battery production

13 Apr 2023

In this application note,Metrohm AG discussed how analytical testing of various quality parameters, such as moisture content or material composition, is necessary throughout the production process of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Techniques such as Karl Fischer titration and ion chromatography can be used to analyze moisture content and ionic impurities, which can negatively impact the safety, lifetime, and performance of LIBs. Titration and ion chromatography can also be utilized to monitor the composition of final cathode materials and electrolytes, ensuring cost-efficient production.

pH Meters and ElectrodesIon and pH meters are electrochemical equipment used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) or specific ion concentration of a solution. Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.
