Advance Battery Failure Analysis and Materials Optimization while Preserving Sample Integrity 

Understand battery failure analysis under real-world conditions without disrupting fragile internal structures. Tescan FIB-SEM and micro-CT workflows provide multimodal insight into thermal effects, electrode damage, and hidden defects linked to battery degradation mechanisms.

In-situ heating and electrolyte visualization reveal gas formation and chemical shifts in real time, while 3D tomography supports battery post-mortem analysis by capturing particle fracturing, delamination, and lithium trapping within electrodes.

Deliver reliable results that strengthen safety testing, inform root cause analysis, and extend battery lifespan.

Improve battery performance consistency by ensuring the quality of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite feedstocks. Tescan’s automated mineralogy workflows provide high-throughput characterization to evaluate deposits, refine beneficiation, and reduce variability in electrode manufacturing.

With Tescan TIMA, complex ores are mapped to distinguish similar phases, quantify liberation and grain size, and model associations critical for recovery. These insights support efficient resource use, strengthen battery material analysis, and create more reliable supply chains for lithium-ion production.

Deliver reliable results that improve process control, support battery validation, and optimize raw material utilization across the energy storage lifecycle.

Support sustainable battery production by maximizing recovery of critical materials from spent cells. Tescans automated mineralogy workflows deliver particle-level insight into complex black mass mixtures, helping recyclers refine processes, optimize battery recycling workflows, and improve yields.

Tescan TIMA classifies each particle by chemistry and morphology—distinguishing cathode chemistries, quantifying liberation, and identifying graphite, foils, and alloys. These insights refine recovery strategies, reduce waste, and support battery upcycling initiatives.

Deliver reliable results that strengthen circular economy goals, improve process efficiency, and secure a consistent supply of recovered materials for lithium-ion production.

Advance battery innovation with workflows that capture processes from nanoscale chemistry to full-cell structures. Tescan imaging and analysis solutions reveal interfaces, visualize dynamics, and map phases with clarity—supporting safer, longer-lasting, and higher-performing designs.

FIB-SEM with ToF-SIMS exposes electrode formation and solid-state interfaces, while 4D-STEM resolves crystallographic phases and strain at the nanometer scale. In-situ micro-CT complements these insights by tracking electrolyte movement and thermal effects in intact cells.

Deliver reliable results that accelerate material discovery, guide cell design, and shape the next generation of battery technologies.
