Discover Illumion — a pioneer in real-time battery diagnostics through its breakthrough Charge Photometry technology. Charge photometry captures subtle changes in the scattering of light as ions flow through electrode materials during battery cycling.
It harnesses the principles of optical interference reflection imaging to detect the light scattered by individual particles across an electrode. As ions move in and out of the electrode material, the resulting changes in light scattering reveal the local state-of-charge of each particle. Watch in real-time as each particle charges and discharges, while simultaneously monitoring changes in particle morphology that affect battery performance.
