Webinar: Enhancing Battery Leak Detection with Mass Spectrometry for Safety and Longevity

 

 

Introduction

The emerging field of battery leak detection and safety is rapidly expanding, addressing critical challenges in battery management. TOFWERK, a Swiss manufacturer of advanced mass spectrometers, leverages cutting-edge technology based on chemical ionization (CI) and time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry to enhance battery safety and longevity.

Our instruments are specifically designed to localize and quantify battery leaks by detecting trace amounts of electrolyte solution seeping from microscopic holes within the cells. This technology not only enhances battery safety through high-throughput classification of individual cells and modules but also optimizes production processes, ensuring a more reliable and efficient battery manufacturing landscape.

The webinar presentation was originally presented at the “BATTERY TUESDAYS” event organized by the iBAT Association .
