Raman Equipment

The Raman instrument will be used to measure materials traditionally used in the anode electrode of Lithium-ion batteries. The technique provides an opportunity to measure and characterise materials which would usually be considered less crystalline/amorphous which would be difficult to characterise with alternative/standard methods.

The instrument should fulfil the following criteria: • Ability to measure powders (Goods inwards check to ensure materials are compliant with specification). • Ability to measure and quantify constituent components to assess electrode homogeneity e.g., clusters/agglomerations of active material after electrode coating. • Ability to measure degradation of electrode materials after processing/cycling.
