Battery R&D

Perform investigations to improve the performance, positivity, conductiveness and other properties of your battery parts from cathode, anode and electrolyte, to separator/membranes & binder.

Our comprehensive product portfolio of battery materials testing instruments has the flexibility to support ongoing innovation and keep up with your lab‘s ever-changing requirements providing the chemical and material analysis you need to innovate better batteries for safety, performance, power, longevity, scale and weight. Typical analyzes in battery R&D cover:

  • Cathode & anode analysis and testing - including battery failure analysis
  • Characterization of separators, membranes & binder - including PVDF / polyvinylidene fluoride membranes
  • Electrolyte Analysis - such as solvent composition of electrolytes with ICP-OES and GC/MS
