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.

Purpose

HF in electrolyte is one of the battery-related measurements we perform. HF is seen as a contaminante in the context of batteries and is often included in the specification for a new or recycled electrolyte. HF is determined using cooled titration and a pH electrode for detection.

Determination of water content in electrode material

The water content needs to be as low as possible in all materials included in a Li-ion battery build. The water content of the solid electrode sheets can be determined with our Karl Fischer set-up.

Electrolyte solvent composition -chemical analysis

The polar solvents used to dissolve the active salts (eg LiPF6) in Li-ion batteries are often carbonates, eg diethyl carbonate or propylene carbonate. The main composition, impurity profile and degradation products are of interest in production and recycling processes. We offer to quantify and identify these substances.

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.

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.
