In situ nano-tomography to monitor the degradation phenomena of a LTO/LMO high density battery cell

The study of the degradation phenomena of high performance LTO/LMO electrodes for high density lithium-ion batteries is relevant for improving their formulation toward longer lifetime and stability of these system over their operation time. In this context, the X-ray nano-tomography as characterization tool is seen as a very promising technique for quantifying the dynamics of these associated degradation phenomena. Added to the very high resolution provided by the ID16B beamline, the very high flux and coherency of the beam brought by the EBS will enable characterization of multiple localization for probing the deep-understanding of the here mentioned very heterogeneous problems.
