To analyze trace elements, inductively coupled plasmas techniques are ideal, often combined with optical spectroscopy (ICP-OES), but also in combination with mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Whereas ICP-OES is well suited for robust and fast analysis in QA/QC laboratories, ICP-MS offers increased sensitivity is often the instrumentation of choice for R&D applications, where lower detection limits may be necessary.

Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) can be used for the analysis of impurities that originate from the production process or help to detect impurities in common electrolytes. It is also vital in assessing potential reasons for premature failure, as it can be used for the analysis of harmful or dangerous degradation products
