Вебинар: Characterisation of Particle and pore sizes of battery materials

Recent international energy developments are leading to increasing electrification to face climate change by setting to zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

Electrification means the use of electricity from renewable sources (such as wind and solar power) for domestic uses, such as heating and cooling our homes and offices, for public and private mobility, for industrial processes, and for all those activities that have been carried out using energy from burning gas and coal. A key role in this process is played by the optimization and safety of lithium-ion batteries in reducing the ageing of cells to ensure a longer life and greater efficiency over time.

This webinar will introduce the analytical techniques provided by Microtrac that can help in the characterization of materials used for battery production. During the presentation, some real case studies and their solutions using Microtrac instrumentation will be analyzed.

Topics

  • General introduction to batteries: operation, composition and cost and performance improvement
  • Laser diffraction and dynamic image analysis to measure particle size and shape of electrode, electrolytes and separators materials;
  • Gas pycnometer to measure the density of electrode materials
  • Determination of surface area and porosity of electrode and separator materials
