From researching novel chemistries to recycling end-of-life batteries, scientists and engineers need to characterize lithium in battery materials. Despite its importance, reliably measuring lithium is challenging for traditional analytical techniques, especially in air- and moisture-sensitive battery materials.
A new analytical technique combining Laser Ablation Laser Ionization (LALI) with Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOF-MS), developed by Exum Instruments, addresses this gap by quantitatively measuring lithium, spatially and in depth, under vacuum conditions. This article explains LALI-TOF-MS and explores its applications for battery materials characterization.
