The rapid growth of the electric vehicle market and the increasing demand for portable electronics have driven the need for advanced energy storage systems. In recent years, lithium-ion batteries have emerged as a promising solution due to their high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate. However, to further improve their performance and safety, a deeper understanding of the complex processes occurring within the batteries is essential. One such approach is the use of advanced analytical techniques, such as Focussed Ion Beam Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (FIB-SIMS) and Focussed Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM). In this blog, we will explore how the integration of these powerful techniques can enable highly sensitive detection of lithium and provide valuable insights into lithium-ion battery research.
