| Abstract: | Scientific and technological progresses in lithium ion batteries are highly depending on advanced characterization techniques. Various physical and chemical properties are expected to obtain, including chemical composition, morphology, crystal structure, microstructure, surface structure, transport properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties. Here main characterization techniques for investigating lithium ion batteries have been introduced, including several new time and spatial resolved techniques, such as AFM-Raman; in-situ SEM and TEM; spherical aberration-corrected STEM; STXM; neutron diffraction and SIMS. |
