Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) Final Report: Low-Temperature Plasma-Based Metrology of Lithium-Ion Battery Electrode Materials

Summary

Current lithium-ion battery manufacturing suffers from high waste and increased costs because existing metrology sensors cannot detect defects early in the production line. This report details the evaluation of a low-temperature plasma-based sensor prototype by SirenOpt Inc. and Berkeley Lab to enable real-time, in-situ measurement of electrode properties, aiming to reduce waste and improve quality. The CRADA work is completed, having successfully demonstrated experimental investigation, optimal condition determination, and AI framework testing for the sensor prototype.
