Application note on the softening point determination of pitch used in anode manufacturing for lithium-ion batteries. |
Pitch analysis can play an important role when optimizing the performance of anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. This comprehensive application note aims to assist you in reliably determining the softening point of pitch, ensuring the production of optimal electrodes.
Pitch coating for anode materials
Pitch is a dark and viscous substance obtained through the distillation of coal tar or petroleum. It finds widespread use in various applications, including roofing and paving. In the realm of lithium-ion batteries, pitch is used to enhance the electrochemical properties of graphite, the primary material employed for anodes.
Softening point determination for lithium-ion battery
Different pitches possess distinct softening points, which influence their electrochemical properties and suitability for specific battery applications. By determining the softening point of pitch with a METTLER TOLEDO dropping point instrument, you can ensure the production of anodes for lithium-ion batteries with optimal properties.
