In-situ neutron tomography and operando neutron radiography to study electrolyte distribution/consumption of lithium-ion batteries during dis-/charge

Abstract: This research employs in-situ neutron tomography and operando neutron radiography to unravel the complexities of electrolyte distribution and consumption in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). LIBs are central to the global transition toward cleaner energy storage solutions. The study focuses on the initial formation cycles, impacting battery performance and capacity. By using advanced neutron computed tomography and radiography, the investigation explores the influence of varying charging rates and cathode particle structures on electrolyte dynamics. Results are expected to provide insights into optimizing LIBs and advancing more environmentally friendly energy storage. The anticipated outcomes will offer valuable knowledge for enhancing industrial LIB development, furthering sustainable energy solutions.
