Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Background:

Solid-state battery interfaces are critical for performance and stability.
Chemo-mechanical phenomena at solid-solid interfaces are less understood than at solid-liquid interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the evolution of lithium/solid-state electrolyte interfaces during battery cycling.
To understand the chemo-mechanical phenomena governing solid-state battery stability and performance.

Main Methods:

Operando synchrotron X-ray computed microtomography was employed.
Symmetric cells were used to visualize void formation during lithium stripping.

Main Results:

Void formation and loss of contact at the lithium/solid-state electrolyte interface were directly visualized and quantified.
The interphase was observed to be redox-active during charging.
Global volume changes were attributed to partial molar volume mismatches.

Conclusions:

Loss of contact at the lithium/solid-state electrolyte interface is a primary cause of cell failure.
Chemo-mechanical phenomena significantly impact solid-state battery performance and stability.
This research facilitates the development of more robust solid-state batteries.
