Analytical Testing Drives Production of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium (Li)-ion batteries are crucial power sources for a wide variety of important consumer products like electric vehicles, phones, and computers. The production of high quality Li-ion batteries (LIB) requires high purity components, especially the Li. High performance analytical instruments and techniques can help deliver these high purity components.  This series explores different aspects of analytical testing and key technologies that improve analysis from the mining and refining of the Li, through the manufacture and recycling of the LIB cells.
