O/N and C/S Analysis of Battery Components: Ensuring quality throughout the battery life cycle

Modern life depends strongly on (mobile) electrical power, which is provided by batteries. No cellular phone, notebook, tablet or car could be operated without a proper working battery. Since Allesandro Volta first built and utilized a primary battery, a
large number of batteries of various chemical compositions and different sizes has been developed which are used for a wide range of applications like flash lights or storage of excess electrical power from the grid or a power plant. Regardless of the dimensions of a battery, its application or its configuration as primary (not rechargeable) or secondary battery (rechargeable), a chemical analysis for carbon, sulfur, oxygen or nitrogen may be required for single components. A reliable and precise measurement of C/S and O/N in selected samples over a wide concentration range is possible with elemental analyzers like the ELEMENTRAC CS-i and ONH-p2.
