Application Focus by Session

Particle Size and Shape Analysis

Particle size and shape are critical parameters in many material systems, including battery powders, catalysts, chemical powders, ceramics and functional materials. This session will cover how particle size distribution, oversized particles, agglomerates and particle morphology can influence dispersion behavior, slurry stability, coating quality, packing density, flowability and batch consistency.

Surface Area, Porosity and Density Analysis

Surface and pore structure strongly influence material performance in batteries, catalysts and chemical applications. This session will explain how BET surface area, pore volume, pore size distribution and density measurements support material optimization, quality control and process troubleshooting.

For catalyst applications, the session will also introduce how chemisorption analysis can provide insight into active surface area, metal dispersion, acid/base properties and gas-solid interactions.

XRD for Advanced Materials Research 

X-ray diffraction is widely used to understand crystal structure, phase composition, crystallite size and structural changes in advanced materials. This session will show how XRD supports battery materials research, catalyst development, chemical material analysis and routine quality control.

XAS on an XRD Platform

X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides insight into oxidation states and local atomic structure. This session will introduce how XAS can be used to investigate transition metals and functional materials, supporting studies of battery materials, catalysts and chemical systems where oxidation state and local coordination are important. 

Elemental Composition Analysis with XRF

Elemental composition is a key quality parameter for incoming materials, active materials, catalysts, chemical products and production batches. This session will show how XRF can support elemental ratio analysis, impurity screening, dopant control and batch-to-batch consistency monitoring.

Why Attend? 

This seminar will help you understand how different analytical techniques work together to provide a more complete view of your materials. Whether you are working on battery materials, catalysts or chemical products, the seminar will provide practical insights into how characterization data can support better material development, process control and quality decisions.
