Battery electrode coating defects
Detect pinholes, agglomerates, streaks, and uncoated patches on electrode coatings.
Example outputs shown for illustration. Numbers depend on your samples and protocol.
What you get
The measurement, today
Electrode coating is inspected by eye on a moving web. Pinholes and small agglomerates pass at line speed, and defect density is never quantified per unit area.
What it costs
A pinhole or agglomerate becomes a weak point that can drive a short or early capacity loss in the cell. Found on the web, the coating can be rejected; found in a finished cell, the whole cell is scrap.
From image to reviewed result
- 1
Image the web
Capture coated electrode under even illumination, on the line or a sampled strip.
- 2
Find the defects
Regions that depart from uniform coating are detected.
- 3
Classify by type
Each defect is labelled pinhole, agglomerate, streak, or uncoated patch.
- 4
Normalise per area
Counts become a defect density per square metre with a location log.
Scope: Detects coating defects visible at the imaged surface and classifies them by type. Their electrical consequence depends on cell design and is confirmed by cell testing.
