Three-phase three-dimensional (3D) microstructural reconstructions of lithium-ion battery electrodes are critical input for 3D simulations electrode lithiation/delithiation, which provide a detailed understanding operation. In this report, images LiCoO2 achieved using focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), with clear contrast among the three phases: particles, carbonaceous phases (carbon and binder) electrolyte space. The good was by utilizing an improved FIB-SEM sample...

Modified carbonate coprecipitation synthesis without addition of chelating agent is introduced to obtain mesostructure-controlled Li-rich layered oxides. The designed mesostructure for target material Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 has uniformly dispersed spherical secondary particles with size around 3 μm. These micrometer-sized consist self-assembled crystallites ∼150 nm. This unique design not only decreases the surface area compared sample dispersive particles, but also increases overall structural...

The mesostructure of porous electrodes used in lithium-ion batteries strongly influences cell performance. Accurate imaging the distribution phases these would allow this relationship to be better understood through simulation. However, nanoscale features components is challenging. While scanning electron microscopy able achieve required resolution, it has well established difficulties media. This because flat planes prepared using focused ion beam milling will intersect with pores, which...
