Case study of failure analysis of oxide-based all-solid-state batteries.

It has high safety and can be used in various environments! Consistent analysis is possible.

We present a case study of a series of analyses conducted to identify failure points and perform cross-sectional observations on an oxide-based all-solid-state battery that was destroyed during reliability testing. Thermal analysis revealed a tendency for strong heat generation on the side, and X-ray transmission observations showed white linear contrast anomalies near the boundary where heat generation was observed in the X-ray transmission image. It is suspected that some abnormalities may have occurred in the white line area. When CP cross-sectional SEM observations were conducted on the areas where anomalies were visible, layer delamination was observed. It is inferred that delamination occurred between the current collector and electrolyte layers due to the expansion and contraction of the positive (negative) electrode layers during reliability testing. 【Case Overview】 ■ Sample Information: Oxide-based all-solid-state battery that experienced degradation due to charge and discharge testing ■ Thermal Analysis Results: A tendency for strong heat generation on the side was observed ■ Other Analysis Contents: - X-ray transmission observation - CP cross-sectional observation and elemental analysis via SEM *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Batteries and Capacitors

The purity of the electrolyte greatly affects the performance of the battery! It suppresses the volatility of sulfur components and converts them into a form that can be detected by IC.

We will introduce an example of analyzing the purity of diphosphorus pentasulfide using ion chromatography for the composition analysis of raw materials for all-solid-state batteries. Diphosphorus pentasulfide is one of the raw materials used in the production of electrolytes for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. As a pretreatment for IC measurement, the powder of diphosphorus pentasulfide was dissolved in alkaline water and converted into phosphate and sulfide salts. Subsequently, the sulfide ions were oxidized to sulfate ions to prepare the IC measurement solution. For more details, please refer to the published catalog. 【Solid Electrolytes (Partial)】 ■Li3PS4 ■Li7P3S11 ■Li6PS5Cl ■Li6PS5Br *For more information, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Analysis and prediction system

It is possible to perform non-destructive testing from fault location identification to internal observation! High-precision identification of heat generation areas can be achieved.

Thermal analysis is a method for identifying defective areas by detecting the heat generated at leak points due to applied voltage using a high-sensitivity InSb camera. By detecting the weak heat generated from shorts and leaks with a high-sensitivity InSb camera, it is possible to non-destructively identify the failure points of electronic components such as semiconductors. Furthermore, non-destructive observation can also be performed using X-ray inspection equipment. 【Features】 ■ Identifying defective areas by detecting the heat generated at leak points with a high-sensitivity InSb camera ■ Analyzing samples in a non-destructive state, and analyzing electronic components that are difficult to analyze with OBIRCH or emission methods is also possible ■ By using the lock-in function to obtain phase information, it is possible to accurately identify the heat generation points *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Cracks that couldn't be detected visually might be found with X-rays!

When stress such as warping, bending, or twisting is applied to the printed circuit board, cracks may occur inside the MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Chip Capacitor). Moreover, cracks that develop internally are often hidden beneath the electrodes, making it difficult to detect them through visual inspection. In such cases, how about checking with X-rays? [Observation Details] ■ Oblique CT Observation It is possible to perform CT without destroying the printed circuit board, in its original state. ■ Orthogonal CT Observation It is possible to observe the shape of the components in their original state. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the entrance of a real estate company in Minato-ku, Tokyo, we have introduced the rental service "Majesta Fragrance" for commercial aroma diffusers, creating a fragrant atmosphere in the space. With the new start of the office relocation on April 1st, a high-quality and sophisticated scent suitable for this new beginning is spreading throughout the entrance. The "scent" that visitors first experience is one of the important elements that naturally conveys the company's impression and dignity. At Majesta Fragrance, we support the enhancement of corporate branding value through the production of scents tailored to the spatial concept. We also offer a free trial installation, so please experience the atmospheric effects that scent can bring. If you are interested in scent design, please feel free to contact us.

We will be exhibiting at the Thermal Tech 2026 event held at the Osaka Industrial Creation Center. At this exhibition, we will introduce our unique material technologies to engineers who face challenges in material selection for high-temperature environments, focusing on polyimide sheets suitable for high heat resistance and insulation applications. As attendance is by prior registration, please register through the related link before visiting, and we hope you will stop by our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit. ◆ Our main exhibition content - PI Plates (Polyimide Laminates) - SUS/Polyimide Substrates ◆ Exhibition Details ◆ Exhibition Name: Thermal Tech 2026 (Pre-registration required) Pre-registration Method: Please register via the URL in the related link Date and Time: April 24, 2026 (Friday) 10:30 AM - 4:30 PM Venue: Osaka Industrial Creation Center, 3rd and 4th Floors (Reception on the 4th Floor)

From June 2025, measures against heat stroke in the workplace have become mandatory. Additionally, in December 2026, a "Support Package for Heat Wave Measures in Construction Work" was formulated, making heat stroke prevention during the summer a pressing issue, especially for those engaged in the construction industry. This time, we provide a collection of heat stroke prevention materials that can be utilized through Sysmet Co., Ltd.'s comprehensive weather platform, ZEROSAI X-AI. Examples of heat stroke prevention measures possible with ZEROSAI X-AI: - Cloud management of heat stroke information - Forecasting of the heat index (WBGT) tailored to the site with a mesh of 500m for up to 17 days ahead - Observation of the heat index (WBGT) in compliance with JIS standards using a black globe thermometer - Alerts for exceeding work standard values for the heat index (WBGT) via electronic bulletin boards, emails, and business chat tools like direct LINE WORKS We hope this will be useful at your sites as well.
