Measuring the pH of cathode material can offer several challenges. The nature of slurry and particulate matter present pose difficulties in measuring pH using a traditional laboratory pH sensor. Poor reproducibility, fluctuating readings, and slower response times are some of the challenges.
The use of a specialist sensor like InLab® Max Pro-ISM, is the right choice for measuring the pH of cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries. The chemically resistant glass membrane of this sensor makes it a preferred choice while measuring the pH of organic solvents or while analyzing other harsh chemicals. Thanks to its immovable sleeve junction, the sensor is easy to clean. These, along with a few more advantages listed in the application note, make the InLab Max Pro-ISM the correct sensor for the analysis of challenging samples like cathode materials of Li-ion batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions: Measuring the pH of Battery Cathode Material
What are the challenges associated with measuring the pH of cathode material in the case of Li-ion battery electrolytes?
The presence of particulate matter and the viscous nature of the slurry make it difficult for a traditional sensor to measure pH accurately using a traditional sensor. Some of the commonly encountered challenges are unstable readings, poor reproducibility, and longer response times.
What are the benefits of using an InLab Pro-ISM pH sensor while measuring the pH of cathode material for Li-ion batteries?
The InLab® Max Pro-ISM has a chemically resistant glass membrane, making it a preferred choice while measuring pH in challenging environments. The immovable sleeve junction allows a constant flow of the electrolyte even with difficult samples. This results in stable readings and a quick response time.
