Globally, BASF is conducting research on innovative cathode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries that make electromobility a reality. The cathode materials usually consist of mixed metal oxides. In the first step of the synthesis, various metal salts are precipitated using sodium hydroxide. Physical laboratory technician Joerg Mai (left) and chemist Dr. Daniela Pfister (right) examines a sample of metal hydroxides and discuss the next steps: The particle size distribution of the sample is determined using analytical methods. This parameter influences essential properties of the end product.
