AN1053: Determination of Dissolved Manganese in Lithium/Manganese Oxide Battery Electrolyte

Instrument Type: IC

The application uses an RFIC system with suppressed conductivity detection to quantify dissolved manganese in the simulated electrolyte of a Li/LiMn2O4 battery. The method uses the Dionex IonPac CS12A column, which was designed to deliver good peak shapes for cations such as manganese(II) (Mn2+), with methanesulfonic acid (MSA) produced by an eluent generator. The method is sensitive, accurate, reproducible, and easy to execute, requiring only the addition of deionized water to the RFIC system.
