New battery materials are needed for the development of longer-lasting batteries with improved performance and safety, lower cost and a reduced ecological impact. Charge photometry accelerates cathode materials discovery. Visualise what is happening inside such materials in real time, at the single particle level, during battery operation. Bring powerful materials analysis into any battery materials R&D lab with illumionONE.
As manufacturers develop new cathode materials to increase capacity, they face a critical challenge: understanding why capacity fades over time and what mechanisms limit it in the first place.
illumionONE identifies capacity limitations by tracking charge distribution within individual particles across the electrode during battery cycling. This detailed spatial resolution allows battery developers to pinpoint exactly when and where Li-rich and Li-poor regions form, revealing the specific ion-transport mechanisms causing capacity loss.
