Contamination of lithium-ion batteries is directly linked to reduced battery performance, safety, and yield. Our X-ray Particle Contaminant Analyzer EA8000A quickly detects and identifies the elements in 20 μm-class microscopic metal particle contaminants, which might cause problems in lithium-ion batteries. Just selecting inspection conditions and starting measurement automatically executes the process from capturing X-ray transmission images to detecting metal particle contaminants and identifying their elements. This greatly contributes to failure analysis and inspection at manufacturing sites for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
