Hiden Analytical is pleased to announce our participation in Battery Tech Expo France 2026, taking place on 5 February 2026 at Lille Grand Palais, Lille, France. Representing Hiden at the event will be Hugo Baker and Jim Melling, who will be available at our booth to discuss advanced gas analysis and mass spectrometry solutions for battery research, pilot lines, and manufacturing.
Battery Tech Expo France brings together organisations across the battery value chain—materials, cell and pack manufacturing, testing, thermal management, safety, compliance, and recycling—in a region increasingly positioned as a hub for battery technology investment and scale-up.
What to expect at Battery Tech Expo Lille 2026
-
Materials and cell development insights spanning cathode/anode materials, electrolyte systems, separators, and next-generation chemistries, with a focus on performance, manufacturability, and supply chain readiness.
-
Engineering and production topics covering module/pack integration, process optimisation, quality frameworks, and validation strategies for scale-up.
-
Testing, safety, and compliance themes including failure modes, thermal events, abuse testing, and approaches to improve reliability throughout the battery lifecycle.
-
Recycling and circularity discussions addressing end-of-life processing, materials recovery, and sustainability-driven design decisions.
Hiden Analytical’s relevance to battery R&D and manufacturing
Battery development is increasingly driven by what evolves in the gas phase—from electrolyte decomposition to SEI formation and failure mechanisms. Hiden Analytical supports battery workflows with mass spectrometry platforms that enable:
-
Real-time evolved gas analysis for lithium-ion development—quantifying reaction pathways and detecting degradation signatures during charge/discharge protocols and formation cycles.
-
Differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) for in situ/operando correlation of electrochemical events with gaseous and volatile species generation.
-
Air-sensitive and controlled-atmosphere integration (e.g., glovebox-compatible approaches) to preserve sample integrity when investigating oxygen/moisture-sensitive chemistries and interfaces.
-
Surface and materials characterisation support (including SIMS-enabled battery research capability) to link gas evolution and interfacial chemistry with microstructure and performance.
