With the global transition towards clean energy technology and the rapid development of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, strict quality control of raw materials is more important than ever before. Even materials with low usage, such as binders, are important as they can ensure the mechanical integrity, electrochemical performance, and long-term reliability of battery electrodes. Differences in the composition or quality of binders can significantly affect production yield and battery performance. This application brief introduces how to use Agilent Cary 630 FTIR spectrometer and Agilent MicroLab software to quickly, reliably, and easily identify and verify the components of adhesive materials in incoming materials.
