The introduction of stricter emission standards is one of the key drivers to evolving electric vehicle battery technology, and battery manufactures are striving to deliver longer ranges and faster recharging without compromising safety. During production, variations in active material loading and imperfections along the electrode edges can lead to poor battery performance and impact safety. A new technique is transforming electrode coating analysis. By providing previously inaccessible levels of data and traceability through precise, real-time measurement of electrode coatings across the entire edge-to-edge profile at a millisecond rate, it enables battery manufacturers to improve and control their process and ensure reliable and high-quality batteries are produced.
