Scanning ion conductance microscopy imaging of battery electrodes, using the geometry shown in figure, is a tool for situ nanoscale mapping surface topography and local current. Images silicon tin electrodes show that combination current provides insight into electrochemical phenomena govern operation lithium batteries
