Q2. How would you measure 10^-6m surface defects in the surface of battery cells during validation
Ans. 
Surface defects in battery cells can be measured using advanced imaging techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or atomic force microscopy (AFM).
• Utilize scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to visualize surface defects at nanoscale level

• Use atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure surface roughness and defects with high resolution

• Implement image processing software to analyze SEM or AFM images and quantify the...read more
