The need to reduce waste, as well as mobility through electric vehicles, has increased the demand for lithium-ion batteries and for efficient methods of quality control.

Purity of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)

One important aspect is ensuring the purity of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), a solvent used in the manufacture of battery electrodes.

It is crucial to remove NMP from the battery after production, as high concentrations can affect the performance of the battery electrolyte.

GC-2030 with the HS-20NX headspace sampler offers a simple solution for both quality controls, eliminating the need for time-consuming sample preparation.
