Applied Spectra, Inc. | VELOCITY | Booth 1020
https://appliedspectra.com/
Applied Spectra’s new Velocity LIBS instrument is redefining battery materials characterization by delivering ultra-fast, large-area elemental mapping purpose-built for Li-ion and next-generation battery workflows. Designed for throughput-driven R&D and manufacturing environments, Velocity enables rapid 2D and 3D LIBS-based mapping of electrodes, solid electrolytes, and composite materials — revealing chemical heterogeneity in minutes rather than hours.
Battery performance and reliability are fundamentally tied to elemental distribution. Variations in lithium loading, binder distribution, conductive additives, and transition-metal uniformity directly impact capacity, cycle life, and safety. Velocity captures this chemistry in a single measurement — simultaneously detecting light elements such as Li, C, O, and F alongside Ni, Mn, Co, Al, and other critical metals. Its high-repetition-rate operation (up to 1 kHz or 10 kHz depending on configuration) combined with broadband multi-channel detection enables high-resolution mapping at manufacturing-relevant speeds.
Velocity’s open-access architecture eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional enclosed LIBS chambers. Large-format electrodes and pouch-cell components up to 12” × 12” can be analyzed directly, with localized sheath gas control maintaining analytical stability at the laser–sample interaction zone. Dynamic spot size and fluence control allow users to optimize between depth profiling, surface uniformity studies, and rapid screening.
Applied Spectra studies demonstrate quantitative 3D lithium mapping in NMC cathodes and rapid large-area compositional surveys, transforming LIBS from a laboratory tool into a practical battery process metrology platform. Velocity is not just faster LIBS. It is a breakthrough in battery chemical imaging, enabling developers and manufacturers to see heterogeneity, correct processes, and accelerate innovation at unprecedented speed.

Gore & Associates | GORE Battery Insulation | Booth 528
https://www.gore.com/battery-insulation
As residential and grid-scale energy storage systems push toward higher energy density, smaller packs, and longer service life, traditional insulating materials often struggle to maintain performance under real-world conditions. Common solutions — such as compressible aerogels and other traditional barrier layers — gradually lose thermal resistance over time as they compress and degrade under sustained mechanical loading and temperature cycling. Over years of operation, this thermal resistance degradation increases the risk of thermal‑runaway propagation, undermining long‑term system safety.
GORE Battery Insulation was engineered to address this lifetime durability gap. This innovative material serves as a thin yet robust thermal barrier, consistently providing superior thermal resistance for the entire lifespan of the battery system. Even under sustained compressive loads up to 1 MPa, continuous vibration, and decades of thermal cycling, GORE Battery Insulation remains dimensionally stable — preserving its protective performance when reliability matters most.
This unmatched long‑life stability allows system designers to safely increase packing density without compromising propagation mitigation, a critical advantage as next‑generation residential and grid‑scale systems become more compact and energy‑dense. Its low‑particulation, bondability, flexibility and clean‑handling construction supports seamless integration into existing manufacturing lines, enabling automated assembly and reducing qualification risk. By ensuring predictable, consistent thermal resistance over decades of operation, GORE Battery Insulation establishes a new benchmark for battery-safety materials.
