Improve the battery performance, manufacturing, and safety through wettability measurements

This white paper discusses the critical role of wettability in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and demonstrates how Attension tensiometers, both optical and force type, can be used to evaluate and optimize wettability at various solid-liquid interfaces within the battery. The paper presents case studies and measurement techniques, such as surface tension and contact angle analysis, to illustrate how tensiometers help optimize electrode slurries, assess the impact of calendering, and improve separator performance, ultimately supporting the development of high-performance, safe, and cost-effective Li-ion batteries.
