Energy Testing Services

Eurofins EAG Laboratories is active in the energy testing industry, particularly in regards to lithium-ion batteries, photovoltaics, HBLED’s, and fuel cell analysis. Our scientists and engineers help manufacturers to pursue state-of-the-art R&D, and we understand the need for first-to-market breakthrough technologies, as well as the challenges of maintaining supply chain quality and efficiency from international providers.

Services for the Energy Industry

EAG has worked with the world’s leading HBLED manufacturers to increase efficiency and yield. Lithium-ion batteries are used in a wide range of today’s mobile devices, due to their light weight and high charge density. In recent years, there have been significant technological advances, driven mainly to support electrification of vehicles, which require high power and energy with exceptional safety standards. To achieve these goals, it is essential have a good understanding of electrochemical processes that occur when batteries undergo a charge/discharge cycle. In addition, the quality of the raw materials used for battery manufacturing needs to be carefully controlled to ensure consistent and predictable performance.

WE KNOW HOW to improve your performance.

HOW WE CAN HELP

EAG offers a comprehensive suite of services for the energy industry, meeting the industry’s exacting standards for tight controls of material properties, composition and chemistry. Here are just a few ways we can help:

Elemental Analysis

Inspection of raw materials during key phases of manufacturing can aid in the identification and elimination of unwanted impurities in final products.

Failure Analysis

Our labs perform failure analysis on both integrated circuits and devices. The failure analysis services range from Level 1 non-destructive examination to Level 3 fault isolation and root cause identification and characterization.

Characterization of Materials

Investigation of materials-related issues includes organic analysis of plastics/polymers, flux, lubricants and solder masks, as well as elemental analysis of wire bonds, bond pads, leads and lead frames.

Advanced Microscopy

Microscopy techniques are essential to investigate sample micro-structure, morphology, particle size, particle coatings and defects in thin/thick film or bulk substrate samples.

Compositional Analysis

Compositional analysis can be used to determine the components of an unknown and suspect material and to identify differences between similar materials such as the lithium content of an electrode.

Surface Analysis

EAG solves surface chemistry issues with adhesion and bonding, questions regarding surface cleanliness and investigations regarding morphology and topography of materials’ surfaces

Coatings Analysis

EAG scientists have the expertise to solve difficult challenges with coatings, such as paints and adhesives. We provide depth-specific distribution measurements and chemical survey characterizations of coatings.

Electronic System Energy Testing
