Tackling Sample Preparation for Elemental Analysis in the Lithium-Ion Battery Industry

Batteries are evolving and Li-ion battery is the chosen technology so far. Consequently, it is fundamental to understand how to improve batteries performance, and the chemical analysis of their components is a necessary step. Materials for anodes, cathodes and electrolytes should be fully characterized.

Microwave-assisted digestion has become an essential ally for sample preparation of battery materials before measurements by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. Several procedures are available for analysis of anode, cathode, and electrolyte materials.

The use of microwave-assisted closed vessel digestions makes feasible the metal analysis of several components used in the Li-ion battery industry. Moreover, this approach led to shorter digestion cycles, using lower volumes of reagents and higher temperatures without compromising safety aspects.

Get a practical guide toward a better understanding of the tools and methods of analysis for the elemental contents of several Li-ion battery components and the materials encountered in their production and recycling process.
