Event Overview:

The presence of elemental impurities within the cathode and anode of lithium-ion batteries has a direct impact on achieved energy density, longevity, and safety. It is critical that precursor chemical producers and battery manufacturers understand the elemental impurities in the precursor chemicals they are using to ensure highest quality lithium-ion batteries.
Modern ICP-OES technology enables simple and rapid determination of the elemental impurities in all components of lithium-ion batteries. Dr. Singha and Dr. Qi will cover sample preparation as well detailed insights into the ICP-OES analysis of both LFP cathode precursor as well as silicon-graphite anode precursor to streamline your lithium-ion battery elemental analysis needs.

Key Learning Objectives:

• How to prepare silicon-graphite anode and lithium iron phosphate cathode samples for successful ICP-OES analysis
• New to ICP-OES? Use the IntelliQuant sample screening function to help you develop your ICP-OES method.
• How to avoid spectral interference using automated software tools

Who Should Attend:

• Inorganic Lab Managers performing lithium-ion battery cathode or anode analysis
• QA/QC analytical chemists working at fine chemical producers who manufacture salts for battery chemicals
• Electrolyte test technicians
• Battery mineral refinery chemists

Speakers:

Dr. Sima Singh
Application Scientist, Atomic Spectroscopy
Agilent Technologies USA

Dr. Sima Singh is an applications scientist at Agilent Technologies supporting the atomic spectroscopy group for ICP-OES, MP-AES, and AA instruments. She specializes in method development, training, and demonstration of the instrument capabilities for challenging sample types. Before joining Agilent in 2017, Sima worked with an agricultural R&D group and later managed their chemistry laboratory for the analysis of water, soil, and plant tissue samples using various instruments including an ICP-OES. She brought the knowledge and experience of the environmental and agricultural applications to her current role and expanded that to various other market segments such as geochemical, alloy, and the lithium-ion battery industry.

Sima received a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the University of Illinois at Chicago and has numerous peer-reviewed publications. She has over fifteen years of hands-on experience in the field of atomic spectroscopy and she is constantly broadening her knowledge and learning about emerging markets and applications. She has been very active with the development of methods, standard operating procedures, and application notes that are needed by the lithium-ion battery industry.

Emma (Ying) Qi
Application Scientist, Atomic Spectroscopy
