Battery Summit: Preparation and Analysis of Battery Samples
Webinar Date/Time: Tue, Dec 13, 2022 11:00 AM EST
Elemental impurities analysis (Al, As, Au, Ca, Cl, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pd, Pt, Si, Pt, Pd, etc.) in electrolyte, anode, cathode and the raw materials are most important in the battery industry.

Event Overview:
Lithium-ion batteries have become an essential type of battery, accounting for approximately 90% of the market. The batteries market consists of Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream, and the raw materials needed for each segment varies. Therefore, elemental analysis of raw materials and the entire value chain of the battery market is crucial. Elemental impurities analysis (Al, As, Au, Ca, Cl, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, Pd, Pt, Si, Pt, Pd, etc) in electrolyte, anode, cathode and the raw materials are most important in the battery industry. ICP-OES is the most popular instrument for the industry; however, ICP-MS, AAS, and UV could also be used sometimes.
Besides inorganic testing, organic impurities (solvent, additive, VOCs, etc) in the electrolyte, cathode, and adhesive are also critical. GC/GCMS, especially GC-MS, is used, as well as some LC/LCMS, for solvent and additives analysis in the electrolyte. Research and development of new battery materials is ongoing in many geographies and companies. GC-MS, LC-MS, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS are needed for continual advances to understand the composition better.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Overview of Li-Ion battery components
- Trace element content and component purity analysis by ICP-OES and ICP-MS
- Real-world perspectives and advantages of using helium leak detection (HLD) for E-Vehicle manufacturing
- The role of GC and GC/MSD for the Analysis of Swelling Gas, Carbonate Solvents and Additives in Lithium-ion Batteries

Revealing the Ancient Secrets of Chinese Swamp Cypress Using Cutting-Edge Pyrolysis Technology
November 18th 2024A study published in the Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis by Yuanwen Kuang and colleagues used advanced pyrolysis techniques to reveal the preservation and chemical transformations of 2,000-year-old Chinese swamp cypress wood, offering valuable insights for archaeological conservation and environmental reconstructions.
More Than Just Acronyms at EAS 2023
November 14th 2023Award recipient John McLean of Vanderbilt University said hybrid techniques do not exist purely as combinations of letters, slashes, and hyphens—they have been built on the shoulders of decades’ worth of analysis intended to refine and simplify workflow.
A Look at Rapid Quantification of PFAS in Non-Potable Waters
March 1st 2020The presence of per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFAS) in water is an important health and environmental concern. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) has been established as the most suitable technology for monitoring these substances. A method is described, using EPA 8327, for PFAS analysis in groundwater, surface water, and wastewater.
Detection and Characterization of Extractables in Food Packaging Materials by GC–MS
July 1st 2017In this study, general extract screening of food storage materials was done with nontargeted analytical methods to understand what analytes could potentially leach into food or beverages. GC and mass spectral deconvolution effectively separated analytes within the complex mixture and TOF-MS provided full mass range spectral data for identification. This workflow can be used for confident characterization of components present as extractables from food packaging materials.
