Industry Service Lab Accelerates the Development of Lithium-ion Batteries

Industry service labs (i.e. Eurofins EAG Laboratories) play a critical role in the battery community by providing fast and professional service. With more than 40 years experience in materials testing services, EAG supports over 4,000 clients in 20+ facilities across the world. There are more than 50 different techniques available inside EAG for materials analysis and most of the techniques are suitable for battery materials characterization.

Currently, a new dedicated battery lab is under construction at EAG to help academic and industry clients for their battery development, testing, analysis and materials characterization. The new battery lab is at EAG’s sister lab Eurofins Nanolab Technologies, in Milpitas CA, USA.  The total lab area is about 2000 square feet with a dry room. The new services added to the battery lab will include:

  • Cell level and pack level cycling test

  • Cell level cycling at different temperature (-40oC up to 100oC)

  • EIS measurement: 10mHz to 1MHz

  • Battery teardown inside Ar protected glove box

  • Coin cell fabrication

  • Defect, delamination of battery analysis by optical microscopy

  • Elemental analysis by Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)

  • Large cross-section and FIB/SEM tomography by Plasma FIB

  • Air-free transfer mechanism from glove box to other materials characterization instruments.
