Standard battery testing rarely accounts for the stresses of high heat and humidity, yet these conditions can dramatically affect capacity, discharge performance, and material stability.

In this new application note, our researchers used Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) to study how lithium, metal oxides, and common cathode materials respond when pushed beyond ideal lab environments. The results reveal surprising differences in stability, sorption behavior, and irreversible reactions.

Key Questions We Explore:

• How do lithium and cathode materials react under extreme humidity and temperature?

• Which materials show reversible behavior and which undergo permanent changes?

• What insights can this provide into battery durability and design?
