Internal Structure Evaluation





 Non-destructive observation of internal structures and deterioration evaluation after charging and discharging  Purpose  Samples


               Internal observation of cells that have been   Small-capacity Lithium-ion Battery that has
               charged and discharged 100 to 1500 times       been charged / discharged

 •   Non-destructive internal observation is possible  Data
 •   Data can be confirmed immediately after shooting by high-speed
 calculation
 •   Confirmation of detailed parts with a high-resolution detector



 The X-ray CT device can observe the internal structure non-destructively. Therefore, it is used for analysis of defective
 products, comparison of non-defective products / defective products, comparison before and after charging / discharging,
 and observation of internal structures in cycle tests. In many cases, it is used for finished battery products. It is also used
 for observing the three-dimensional structure of minute parts such as electrodes.







 Purpose  Samples

 Non-destructive observation of the current   Large Lithium-ion Battery for a vehicle.
 collector and of the lower part of the battery  W114mm×D48mm×H184mm

 Data




                             Cross-sectional image of a Lithium-ion Battery in a charge-discharge cycle test (100 ~ 1500 times)






                     Result

               This data shows results from repeatedly charging and discharging the Lithium-ion Battery and scanning at 100 times, 500
               times, 1000 times, and 1500 times. Because X-ray CT can observe the inside non-destructively, it is not necessary to prepare
 The X-ray CT image of a large Lithium-ion Battery for a vehicle  a lot of samples for a cycle test. Therefore, it is possible to track the state changes over time for the same sample.

 Result


 The green frame is the positive electrode current collector, the red frame is the negative electrode current collector, and
 the blue frame is the X-ray CT image of the lower part of the battery. You can see in detail how the negative electrode is
 bent.
