Material Validation
ACE proprietary active material powders undergo a through two-stage analysis and testing proces. First we conduct material characterization: an elemental analysis of the material's interior structure, including. To understand the material's chemical, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties, characterization includes the following methods of analysis:​
-
TAP Density
-
Surface Area
-
​Phase Form (XRD)
-
Elemental Analysis​
-
Particle Size Distribution​​
-
Phase Form (XRD)​
-
SEM Imaging​
-
Raman Spectroscopy​
-
TGA / DSC Analysis
The second stage of material analysis and testing involves building battery cells. The active material powders are mixed with binders and conductors to create a wet slurry mixture that is coated on a thin layer of aluminum (cathode) or copper (anode) foil followed by a drying process to create electrodes.
