What is Material Qualification?
Material qualification is the process of qualifying material for battery use. At IRIDIAN we offer a streamlined approach to get your raw material into the hands of OEMs.
Materials that are currently available for material qualification are natural graphite, sythentic graphite, or similar materials.
Services
Coin Cells
ICL, reversible capacity, DCIR, basic rate capability, CE, voltage characteristics
When do we use them?
Required for nearly any application.
Demonstrates: material is coat-able, initial electrochemical characteristics compatible with OEM needs
Single Layer Cells
Rate capability, capacity fade, cell resistance, refined modeling inputs, operational voltage range
May be required to show how material performs when paired with a standard LIB cathode.
Multi-Layer Cells
Gravimetric/volumetric energy density, form factor, application-specific cycle life, safety
May be required to show how the material works for specific use cases.
