Anode and Cathode Materials for Li-ion Batteries Through X-Ray Diffraction

X-ray Diffraction (XRD) plays a pivotal role in material characterization during the production of lithium-ion battery electrodes. For anodes, it helps analyze the degree of graphitization in graphite enabling a precise understanding of its properties and performance.

In cathode production, particularly with materials like NMC or LFP, it is essential for identifying crystal structures, optimizing compositions, and ensuring the desired electrochemical properties. Join our webcast to learn how XRD contributes significantly to the development of high-performance and reliable lithium-ion batteries for various applications.
