Event Overview:
Component analysis is essential for comprehending and optimizing lithium-ion battery (LIB) production and performance. It involves dissecting LIBs into anode, cathode, electrolyte, and separator, then examining each closely. This examination offers insights into component properties, performance traits, and synergistic impact on overall battery function. Such insights enable design optimization, enhanced battery performance and durability, and cost reduction in manufacturing.
Key Learning Objectives:
Learn about:
- Steps for successful sample preparation with battery material.
- Benefits of high-resolution ICP-OES, and the most sensitive contrAA-Flame-AAS.
- Challenges of a complex matrix being overcome by high-power, high-stability plasma.
- Solutions for reliable TOC/TIC analysis in high-purity cathode salts and lithium-ion battery recycling.
Who Should Attend:
- Companies in mining, refining, and recycling
- Contract labs, research labs, and academia

How has spectroscopy education evolved over the years?
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.
In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors examined why spectroscopy expertise has declined and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it through curated, fundamentals-based education suited to increasingly complex analytical work.
A recent roundtable discussion with the SpecAcademy instructors explored why spectroscopy expertise has eroded and how SpecAcademy aims to rebuild it.
The agreement gives North American customers a stocked, domestic source for InGaAs PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes from the Scottish manufacturer.
The gap between classroom training and industry practice is pushing analysts toward familiar techniques instead of the most appropriate ones.
Panelists from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the Coblentz Society, Syensqo, Specac, and the University of Georgia discuss how a mismatch between academic curricula and industry practice leaves many analysts unsure when, and how, to use infrared and Raman spectroscopy.
