From the upstream to the downstream of the lithium-ion battery industry chain, the quality control of raw materials and products requires macro and trace elemental composition analysis to test anode and cathode materials, electrolytes, separators, and recycled materials.

ICP-OES is an ideally suited technique for the analysis of these materials due to its combined analytical performance and robustness.

During this talk, a review of data collected from ICP-OES on various battery materials will be discussed with special emphasis on high TDS samples.
