Abstract:
With an increasing demand for improved lithium-ion battery (LIB) performance, reliable methods to analyze their components and impurities are crucial for every stage from analysis of raw materials to development research, manufacturing quality control, and recycling. We developed a method for the analysis of not only the most common electrolyte salts, but also common electrolyte trace contaminants in a single run. Simulated electrolyte, consisting of several lithium salts and trace contaminants in the mixture of carbonates, was analyzed by anion exchange chromatography, showing excellent resolution of critical LIB components.
