Ensuring quality in lithium-ion battery electrolytes

In the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries, the quality of liquid electrolytes is crucial for performance and longevity. Mettler-Toledo's EasyPlus UV/Vis spectrophotometer offers a compact and efficient solution for evaluating electrolyte solutions, ensuring quality through spectral analysis. With built-in reference scales, colour guides, and webinars, it provides a quick and cost-effective method for users to assess electrolyte suitability, maintaining the efficiency of energy storage systems.

The EasyPlus UV/Vis spectrophotometer facilitates rapid and reliable analysis of electrolyte solutions without extensive sample preparation. By measuring electrolyte impurities within seconds, it ensures the quality and safety of lithium-ion batteries. Built-in reference colour scales enable easy detection of deviations, while UV and visible light absorption measurements indicate the electrolyte solution's purity, delivering clarity to users promptly.

Utilising UV/Vis spectrophotometry, the instrument helps analyse battery degradation over time by tracking changes in the absorption spectrum of the electrolyte. Establishing a reference curve enables accurate prediction of battery life as its performance declines. This predictive capability enhances engineers' ability to anticipate battery longevity more precisely.

Mettler-Toledo offers automation solutions with UV/VIS Excellence instruments, incorporating cell changers or autosampler systems for efficient analyses. Multiparameter systems, including titration and pH measurement, boost productivity, saving time in documentation and reporting. This integrated approach enhances analytical efficiency for customers in the battery industry.

UV/Vis spectrophotometry serves as a powerful and reproducible technique for determining key battery performance indicators, eliminating the need for separate colorimeters. Mettler-Toledo supports users with a Colour Guide and a Webinar to facilitate a seamless start in harnessing the capabilities of EasyPlus UV/Vis spectrophotometer technology.
