Purpose

For rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries) there are also limit values ​​for arsenic (As).

Method

The method is based on the "Battery Industry Standard Analytical Method. For the determination of Mercury, Cadmium and Lead in Alkaline Manganese Cells". The determination is made with ICP-MS.

Deliveries

The results are delivered in the form of a report.

Opening of batteries-post mortem analysis

Opening Li-ion batteries for detailed studies of aging or breakdown is very useful for increased understanding. Likewise, other types of batteries can be opened after discussion. Visual assessment as well as chemical and physical analyzes are linked to the materials that are exposed. For example, electron microscopy (SEM) can be performed.

Determination of HF in battery electrolyte using titration

HF in battery electrolyte is formed when water hydrolyses e.g. LiPF6. HF is seen as a contaminant and gives lower capacity of the battery and destroys certain electrode materials. We perform several determinations of fluorine species including HF in electrolyte.

Water content determination in battery electrolytes

Water is an impurity in Li-ion electrolytes. This is because water reacts, breaks down, important components such as the active salt LiPF6. Control of production and recycling processes towards low water levels is of great importance. We offer analysis of water content in, among other things, ketone-based electrolytes.
