Batteries

Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) enables precise control of composition ratios and trace impurities in battery materials. From cathodes and anodes to electrolytes and raw materials, it supports reliable performance from R&D through mass production.

Ensuring quality across the battery value chain

WDXRF has been applied across the full range of battery materials, with studies highlighting how composition control and impurity monitoring directly support performance, safety, and reliability.

  • Cathode materials (NMC, LFP): Accurate tracking of composition ratios ensures targeted capacity and long cycle life.
  • Anode materials (graphite, silicon): Detection of metallic impurities helps prevent degradation and side reactions.
  • Solid electrolytes (e.g., argyrodite): Elemental balance is closely tied to ionic conductivity and stability.
  • Raw materials (nickel ores): Early-stage characterization reduces variability in downstream processes.

The application notes below provide real measurement data from these representative cases. Together, they demonstrate the versatility of WDXRF for both R&D and quality assurance across the battery value chain.
