Contactless ultrasound spectroscopy for testing state-of-charge and integrity in lithium-ion batteries.

iScience

October 2024

Ultrasonic and Sensors Technologies Department (ITEFI), Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), 28006 Madrid, Spain.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are playing nowadays a key role in the decarbonization of the economy. However, safety issues and the lack of an accurate performance predictor after manufacturing led to the application of non-destructive methods in this field that can assess their condition. Contact ultrasounds have been successfully applied in recent years in this regard, mainly in research facilities, proving the potential of ultrasonic waves to collect meaningful information.

Rapid Detection of Cleanliness on Direct Bonded Copper Substrate by Using UV Hyperspectral Imaging.

Sensors (Basel)

July 2024

Center of Process Analysis and Technology (PA&T), School of Life Sciences, Reutlingen University, Alteburgstraße 150, 72762 Reutlingen, Germany.

In the manufacturing process of electrical devices, ensuring the cleanliness of technical surfaces, such as direct bonded copper substrates, is crucial. An in-line monitoring system for quality checking must provide sufficiently resolved lateral data in a short time. UV hyperspectral imaging is a promising in-line method for rapid, contactless, and large-scale detection of contamination; thus, UV hyperspectral imaging (225-400 nm) was utilized to characterize the cleanliness of direct bonded copper in a non-destructive way.
