As an industrial manufacturer, you want to carry out battery material analysis and characterization
Analysis and characterization of battery materials and their purity
The chemical purity of raw materials is a major issue for materials engineers. Even in small amounts, the presence of unwanted contaminants can alter the physical, electrical, and functional properties of materials, thereby compromising the reliability of the final product. Rigorous control of raw materials before production makes it possible to identify and prevent these impurities. Filab provides a wide range of analytical techniques to detect and quantify trace and ultra-trace impurities in a variety of advanced materials.

Our FAQ
Battery materials analysis makes it possible to determine their chemical composition, structure, and physicochemical properties. It is essential for developing new generations of batteries, controlling material quality, identifying the source of a failure, or optimizing electrochemical performance.
A laboratory can analyze all the materials that make up a battery, including:
- cathode active materials (NMC, NCA, LFP, LMO, etc.),
- anode materials (graphite, silicon, metallic lithium, etc.),
- liquid or solid electrolytes,
- separators,
- copper or aluminum current collectors,
- binders, conductive additives, and coatings.
Active materials directly determine battery performance: capacity, energy density, service life, and stability. Their characterization makes it possible to check their composition, crystal structure, morphology, and homogeneity in order to ensure their performance.
Specific surface area and porosity influence ion exchange, electrolyte diffusion, and the battery’s electrochemical performance. Measuring them helps optimize electrode formulations and manufacturing processes.
Yes. Material characterization makes it possible to identify anomalies such as contamination, incorrect chemical composition, degradation of active materials, coating defects, or structural changes that may explain reduced performance or premature failure.
Yes. Material characterization is involved throughout research and development projects: selection of new materials, comparison of formulations, optimization of synthesis processes, performance validation, and qualification before industrial-scale production.
A specialized laboratory has a wide range of complementary analytical techniques to characterize materials at different scales, from chemical composition to microstructure and surface properties. At FILAB laboratory, results are interpreted by experts to support manufacturers in the development, quality control, failure analysis, and optimization of their battery materials.
