Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Thermo Fisher, CEO Seok Soo-jin), a global science company, introduced a total battery solution from battery materials to production.

Thermo Fisher participated in 'InterBattery 2024', the largest battery industry exhibition in Korea, held at COEX in Seoul from the 6th to the 8th, and presented a total analysis solution from battery research to production to help leading companies in the battery industry innovate.

Thermo Fisher will be presenting its exhibition booth at the show, showcasing analytical solutions and automated workflow technologies covering the value chain from mineral extraction to battery production.

In particular, the company introduced as its main products the LInspector, which measures the thickness and basis weight of lithium-ion batteries to improve product safety and consistency during the battery manufacturing process, and the Phenom Particle X electron microscope, which detects microscopic foreign substances down to the μm (micrometer) unit in cathode powder and analyzes their components.

On March 8th, the last day of the InterBattery exhibition, Thermo Fisher held its ‘Battery Day’ seminar with the theme ‘Advances in analytical technology from battery research to manufacturing innovation.’

Introducing the latest battery trends and challenges faced in the manufacturing environment This seminar, designed to solve various difficult problems, received a lot of attention from customers from various fields, including major domestic battery manufacturers, next-generation battery research institutes, mineral processing and raw material production companies, and pre-registration closed early.

This seminar featured a presentation by Mercedes Crego, Global Director Clean Energy, introducing Thermo Fisher’s integrated battery analysis technology, while Brandon Van Leer, Senior Manager Clean Energy, explained in detail the automated workflow and non-atmospheric exposure analysis methods for efficient materials analysis.

Thermo Fisher Scientific, which has participated in InterBattery for three consecutive years, operates four main technology zones and showcases its XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) system that can identify metals and alloys and detect tramp elements, its Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) system that helps analyze battery material components and impurities, and its Max-iR FT-IR gas analyzer that is capable of real-time analysis while maintaining detection limits from parts per billion (ppb) to tens of ppt (parts per trillion).

In addition, we introduced analysis data specialized for the battery industry, allowing customers to directly experience the battery laboratory information management system.

During the exhibition, more than 1,200 visitors visited the Thermo Fisher Scientific exhibition booth, showing continued interest in Thermo Fisher’s battery analysis solutions.

Seok Soo-jin, CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific Korea, said, “We are delighted to be participating in InterBattery for the third consecutive year and to be able to showcase our innovative solutions as a trusted technology partner to global battery manufacturers. Thermo Fisher opened a Battery Customer Experience Center in Suseo, Seoul last year to support the continued development of the battery industry, and is planning to open a Battery Advanced Solutions Center within the year that will provide chemical analysis solutions across the entire battery lifecycle,” he said. “Going forward, Thermo Fisher will continue to strive to solve challenges facing the battery industry and provide innovation across all processes from R&D to manufacturing and after-sales quality control.”
