Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (hereinafter Thermo Fisher, CEO Seok Su-jin) announced that it participated in ‘InterBattery 15’, the largest battery industry exhibition in Korea held at COEX, Seoul for three days from the 17th to the 3th.
At this exhibition, Thermo Fisher introduced various battery analysis solutions, including its flagship product ‘Linspector’, and workflows that can be used in all processes. Linspector is a system that measures the thickness and basis weight of lithium-ion batteries, and helps to increase product safety and consistency and increase production efficiency in the battery manufacturing process. Developed based on excellent measurement technology accumulated by Thermo Fisher for over 80 years, the system is specially designed to detect defects in electrode coatings, electrode calendering, and separators during the production process, reducing waste and improving quality of lithium-ion batteries. help in
Thermo Fisher also held a seminar during InterBattery, introducing a wide range of solutions for advanced battery production from the lab to the production line. Speakers at this seminar were Zhao Liu, Director of Market Development, who has expertise in the field of energy materials applications, and Muthu Samy Mariappan, Product Manager, who has more than 10 years of experience in the field of measurement solutions. They gave lectures on the themes of ‘electron microscope-based battery analysis technology for next-generation battery development and cell manufacturing’ and ‘efficient management and utilization of important process data through online monitoring of battery electrode manufacturing’ and had a Q&A session with the audience. had
During the exhibition, about 1 visitors visited the Thermo Fisher exhibition booth, and more than 200 people applied for participation in the on-site seminar, more than twice as many visitors as last year. At the booth, state-of-the-art battery analysis including pure metal and alloy identification, handheld XRF to detect tramp elements, ICS-100 HPIC system for faster resolution separations with dual high-pressure channels, and thermal science DXR 2xi Raman Imaging microscope Customers were able to experience the technology firsthand.
Meanwhile, according to a report by global market research firm Grandview Research, the global lithium-ion battery market is expected to reach $2025 billion by 931. This is due to the increased need for high energy density lithium-ion batteries due to the increased use of electric vehicles, ESS (Energy Storage System), and portable electronic products. In order to improve battery performance, analysis methods that can study the surface and condition of batteries, materials, and components at various scales are needed. In line with this, Thermo Fisher has been providing various analysis solutions that can be used in the entire battery manufacturing process.
Seok Su-jin, CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific Korea, said, “We will not only provide customized services to meet the industry’s needs for high-quality next-generation battery technology, but will also become a reliable technology partner for everyone.” We expect it to help reduce battery defects used in ESS.”
In addition, Thermo Fisher is establishing and operating various experience centers in Korea to effectively deliver the latest science and technology to customers. The 2,380㎡ (720 pyeong) NanoPort Customer Innovation Center located in Giheung, Yongin contributes to maximizing customer productivity in the domestic semiconductor and science industries, and customers in Suseo, Gangnam, where the largest number of scientific applications can be performed in Korea. In addition to the Customer Experience Center, the Bioprocess Design Center is being operated in Songdo Biocluster, Incheon. In addition, it plans to establish a Battery Center of Excellence, a customer center specialized in battery research and production support, within this year to strengthen its competitiveness in the clean energy field in the future.
