The needs of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery customers can be segmented into in situ and ex situ modes of analysis. Ex situ lets researchers study battery components removed from the operating battery cell. The use of Raman spectroscopy to analyze battery materials has been around for years.
Raman image indicates a difference in the anode coating on each side. Inset Raman spectra are color-coded to the areas in the Raman image. The high sensitivity of Raman imaging is a benefit for Li-ion battery analysis. Ex situ Raman imaging measurements give results with a higher degree of confidence compared to single points.
The high sensitivity of Raman imaging is a benefit for Li-ion battery analysis. Ex situ Raman imaging measurements give results with a higher degree of confidence compared to single points. The data were collected using an older model instrument, the Thermo Scientific DXRxi Raman Microscope.
The separator and the anode are not visible, as the polymers and the carbon molecules cannot be distinguished from each other with this method. However, Raman imaging can visualize graphite (cyan) and amorphous carbon (blue) in the anode and amorphous carbon and lithium with manganese oxides (MO) (red) in the cathode (fig. 1b).
In the past, both Raman and far-infrared (FIR) measurements were time-consuming and difficult experiments. Advances in instrumentation have significantly increased the ease of use, making Raman techniques a much more approachable. New areas of application ensued, such as the exploding interest in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
Raman spectra were collected over a 30 μm × 30 μm area at 1 μm pixel spacing using two mW of 532 nm laser excitation, a 0.01 sec exposure time for each pixel, and 50 scans per image. Higher laser powers and/or longer exposure times resulted in the burning of the graphite and boiling of the electrolyte.
Principles of Raman spectroscopy (1) What is Raman spectroscopy?
A comparison of IR transmission and Raman spectra for L-cystine is shown in Fig. 5. The intensity of the two spectra exhibit mirror symmetry, so IR and Raman spectra are often considered to be "complementary". But they are different in the type of physical phenomenon they can measure. In IR measurements, the spectral intensity depends on ...
