ROVIDENCE, R.I., Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Providence-based Research Instruments Corporation has obtained an exclusive option from Brown University to license x-ray imaging processing techniques involving advanced algorithms that rapidly determine ion battery failure risks and battery life through non-destructive testing.
See how Research Instruments Corporation x-ray imaging processing techniques and advanced algorithms to rapidly determine ion battery failure risks and battery life through non-destructive testing.
Co-inventor Christoph Rose-Petruck, a Brown professor of chemistry, explained that the optioned technology enables the X-ray imaging of an entire battery with high sensitivity to the electrodes' nano-structure which is invisible with conventional X-ray imaging. X-ray images taken with this technology during the initial battery charging cycle help predict the future performance of the batteries. This can be critical quality control as lithium-ion batteries power modern life ranging from cars and airplanes to cell phones.
