When we hear lithium-ion cells, electrochemistry springs up as the key must know discipline for effective research. However, lithium-ion cells are a system covering a wide range of science and engineering disciplines and length scales. Scaling from material level properties of crystal structure or nano scale particles to mega watt-hour industrial installations. For problems in systems this complex, we often reach for powerful and modern tools and methods such as AI, cloud computing, synchrotrons, etc. These tools can provide very deep insight into focused areas but are expensive, slow and do not provide a complete picture. Researchers tend to make hasty conclusions from these data sources but the solutions don’t always hold true for the entirety of the battery system. This presentation will review three projects from the presenter’s academic and industrial career. The projects to be covered are synthesis and characterization of core-shell NMC material, advances in data engineering for cell test data, and characterization methods for the slurries and coatings used in lithium-ion electrode manufacture. Each of these projects involved advancing the knowledge and methods for research lithium-ion cells using readily available instruments and methods.
