The global market demand for lithium-ion batteries is skyrocketing. The entire battery supply chain — from mining and processing raw materials through battery manufacturing and finally to recycling — is scrambling to catch up to exponential growth in demand. The invisible sparks generated by electrostatic discharge (ESD) create miniature fireworks shows all around us.

The invisible sparks generated by electrostatic discharge (ESD) create miniature fireworks shows all around us. ESD happens when one object — either a human or an electrically charged device — comes into contact with another charged object, such as electronic circuits or electrical components. The interaction between the two objects causes static charge to build up and release rapidly, resulting in a brief pulse of high-voltage electricity.
