Welcome to this latest edition of the Malvern Panalytical Advanced Materials newsletter, covering the blizzard of activity that we’ve seen over the second quarter of 2024! We’ve been looking closely at how our advanced materials solutions can make a difference in a whole host of applications and have had a couple of announcements to share along the way too. It’s all covered here in this newsletter, so do read on to get up to speed!
Battery manufacturing has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years. With this has come fierce competition, forcing manufacturers to reduce their prices by minimizing waste at every stage of the process. Malvern Panalytical’s process automation solutions can help: from particle size analysis in precursor materials to elemental composition analysis at the recycling stage, there are a variety of joined-up solutions available.
Quantum dots and colloidal nanoparticles could revolutionize a great variety of applications, from solar cells and LEDs to medical imaging and spin coating. Research studying these nanostructures is in demand, but it can be prohibitively expensive to find the necessary instrumentation. Instead, why not try an instrument already commonly found in labs across the world? Discover how the Empyrean XRD instrument can unlock colloidal nanoparticle researchhere.
Contaminants in metallic powders can damage additive manufacturing parts, even if their presence is only a little too high. A line must be drawn between an acceptable and unacceptable level of contamination to prevent the wasting of powders with non-damaging levels of contamination. XRF can help search for contaminants and assist in drawing that important line. Find out more in our blogabout how XRF supports a robust contaminant screening strategy.
The final composition of a well-made cathode material is affected by the elements that make up its precursor and raw materials, but how can you unlock deep insights into this elemental composition without incurring great costs or delays? Our webinar examines the helpful role that X-ray fluorescence (XRF) can play in accurate, efficient elemental analysis and the non-destructive advantages it has over inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass spectrometry.
We’re introducing AMASS 2.0 – an advanced version of our software for analyzing X-ray diffraction and X-ray reflectivity from thin films. Our special unveiling event covered all the new and exciting improvements, such as free-form analysis, parameter linking, and an enhanced user interface. Join Malvern Panalytical’s XRD application specialist, Andrey Zameshin, to learn all about the software upgradehere. Already caught up? We have an advanced webinar covering the new freeform analysis algorithm for thin films. It’s an exciting glimpse into the future of hybrid X-ray metrology, so don’t miss out.
The Semiconductor Future Days event gathered distinguished industry experts and our in-house semiconductor specialists to delve into the fascinating world of crystal engineering. It featured enlightening discussions on the latest innovations, focusing on the essential tools within the magic triangle of processing, simulation, and metrology. Thank you to our invited experts from PVA TePla and Semiconductor Technology Research for the fascinating talks!
Have you heard of supercapacitors? If batteries can be compared to a marathon runner, then a supercapacitor is more like a sprinter. Both store energy but each has strengths in different applications. So, how do they compare to common battery types such as lithium-ion?
Nominations for the Malvern Panalytical Scientific Award are now open.
