Failure Analysis in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Battery safety and lifespan depend on understanding how cells degrade under cycling, heat, and complex operating conditions. Failure mechanisms such as particle degradation, electrolyte dynamics, and internal delamination can reduce capacity and trigger safety risks.

Failure Analysis and Characterization in Lithium-ion Batteries
Electrode Particle Degradation Characterization

Electrode particle degradation drives capacity fade and internal resistance growth. Tescan AMBER X 2 with ToF-SIMS and Raman spectroscopy enables full structural and chemical analysis of degradation processes. 

  • Visualize exfoliation and fracturing in anodes and cathodes
  • Map lithium trapping and chemical inhomogeneity in 3D 
  • Correlate microstructural and chemical data for targeted improvements

Spectral CT in the World of Electronics: Moving Toward Failure-free Devices

As electronics become smaller and more integrated, ensuring internal quality without disassembly is increasingly essential. Tescan’s spectral micro-CT reveals internal defects and material inconsistencies in wearables and PCBs, non-destructively, in full 3D. 

  • Separate copper, solder, and polymers in dense PCB assemblies
  • Detect battery delamination inside smart rings without opening the device
  • Identify high-Z elements like tungsten and gold via K-edge spectral imaging
