Battery centric workflows for next-generation battery developments

Want to know how to design battery-centric workflows, handle air-sensitive samples, and connect glovebox, FE-SEM, and XRM?

The development of high-energy-density chemistries, recycling methodologies, and the optimization of lithium-ion systems rely on characterization methods to provide a feedback loop between microstructure, processing, and electrochemical behavior.

In this SelectScience® webinar, we will examine how today’s microscopy workflows address battery research, including Li- and Na-based solid-state batteries. You will learn how to design 'battery-centric' workflows that connect destructive and non-destructive methods to specific research questions, including:

- What is the microstructure of an electrode, including its 3D nanoscale architecture, and how is that linked to electrochemical performance?
- How are components and microstructures arranged and aligned inside an assembled battery, and how do they evolve during cycling?
- How can battery and electrode microstructures be assessed coherently across different length scales?
- How can battery recycling be optimized from the efficient characterization of black mass powder in multiple dimensions?

The first part of this webinar will focus on handling air-sensitive materials using air-free transfer workflows that bridge glovebox environments with multiple electron microscopy modalities, enabling investigation of microstructure, while preserving the native state as much as possible.

The second part will highlight X-ray microscopes (XRM) as a non-destructive, minimal-preparation technique for 3D multiscale characterization of intact cells and complex samples such as black mass from recycling processes.

The overall focus will be on research-driven case studies and practical workflow strategies, illustrating how combined destructive and non-destructive microscopy approaches can provide deeper insight into battery behavior, degradation, and lifetime for the battery circular economy.
