BATTERY WEBINAR SERIES

Optimize Electrode Slurries via Flow and Structure Analysis Using Rheo-Impedance Spectroscopy

October 30, 2024
10:30 am EST | 3:30 pm BST | 4:30 pm CET

Electrode manufacturing for lithium-ion batteries is a complex, multistep process that requires comprehensive material characterization to ensure quality and consistency in the final electrodes. Electrode processing involves combining active materials with binders and conductive additives to form a coating on the current collector, either as a slurry or dry coating. The mixing and coating process exposes these materials to a range of different shear environments that may affect their final performance. 

In this webinar we will explore Rheo-Impedance Spectroscopy and the powerful insights you get into the microstructure of your battery electrode slurries. Understand the conductive network of your slurries and how that directly impacts final battery safety and performance. See how the data from this technology can predict how formulations and processing affect the final electrode’s structure and heterogeneity, ensuring successful performance. 

Join us for this webinar to learn:
  • How Rheo-Impedance data allows you to assess the conductive network structure in your slurry formulation.
  • Why assessing your electrodes conductive network is critical for battery performance.
  • How slurry waste can be reduced using Rheo-Impedance technology.
