Batteries

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.
