Characterizing Li-ion Battery Separators: Pore Structure Determination

December 9, 2021

Overview

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are an advanced technology that will play a key role in the trend toward renewable and sustainable industrial electrification solutions.

The AutoPore V Series utilizes the Mercury Porosimetry analysis technique, based on the intrusion of mercury into a porous structure under stringently controlled pressures. Besides offering speed, accuracy, and a wide measurement range, mercury porosimetry permits you to calculate numerous sample properties such as pore size distributions, total pore volume, total pore surface area, median pore diameter and sample densities (bulk and skeletal). This webinar will describe how the AutoPore V can be used to characterized separators which are critical to the safety and reliability of li-on batteries.
