Non-destructive micro-CT imaging uncovers structural voids and packing uniformity — key factors for optimizing battery performance and electrolyte flow.
Porosity is more than empty space. It defines how lithium-ion batteries breathe, cycle, and age. This void fraction controls electrolyte infiltration, affects internal resistance, and impacts how well the cell handles fast charging or long cycles.
In this study, Tescan applies UniTOM HR micro-CT to investigate porosity in commercial lithium-ion electrodes. From full battery packs down to individual graphite particles, multi-scale Volume of Interest scanning and high-speed 3D reconstructions offer deep insight — without cutting or unpacking a single cell.
Tescan UniTOM HR offers non-destructive, multiscale imaging for battery cells, modules, and materials — from macro inspection to sub-micron porosity analysis.
