Oxford Instruments is helping researchers, developers, and manufacturers to make safer, longer lasting, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly batteries. Our unparalleled innovation in materials analysis equipment, methods, and integrated systems is transforming the testing and analysis of materials on the molecular level, at every stage of the battery production and usage lifecycle.
By improving the speed, scale, scope, and accuracy of analysis, we are enabling a much deeper understanding and comprehensive characterisation of the quality, properties, purity, composition, and behaviour of the materials that make up batteries – and accelerating the optimisation of the five key priorities in the batteries industry: Energy Density, Power Density, Safety, Lifespan, and Cost.
As the world makes a concerted move towards greener, more renewable energy sources, the role of battery power in everything from handheld consumer devices to large scale freight and logistics transport becomes increasingly important.
This accelerating demand for batter power requires manufacturers to push the boundaries and balance of different key performance criteria, in the quest to develop safer, longer lasting, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly batteries for an expanding range of use cases.
Integral to this is the rigorous testing and analysis of materials on the molecular level, at every stage of the life-cycle.
