Battery Research and Development

R&D in the battery industry, including with lithium-ion batteries, presents unique challenges due to increasing market and societal demands for higher energy density, faster charging times, improved safety, and longer lifespans. Rigaku’s comprehensive suite of analysis tools is designed to support the R&D process by analyzing the components of anode and cathode materials, solid electrolytes, as well as entire batteries.

Rigaku’s analysis tools—such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), and thermal analysis (TA)—provide critical insights into phase transitions, oxidation states, and thermal stability. These advanced analyses help researchers push the boundaries of battery performance. Click the numbers below to see application examples.
