[Analysis Case] Evaluation of Si Anode in Lithium-ion Secondary Batteries
It is possible to evaluate the state of the electrodes before and after charging, as well as the presence and distribution of Li.
Silicon (Si) is one of the candidates for high-capacity anode active materials, but it is said to suffer from severe cycle degradation due to the very large volume changes during charge and discharge. We dismantled and observed the Si anode before and after charging under controlled atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, we created cross-sectional observation samples using the FIB micro-sampling method and conducted shape observation and EELS measurements with a Cs-corrected STEM device to evaluate the condition of the Si electrode and the distribution of Li within the electrode.
