Analyzing lithium and other light elements requires low kV imaging and analysis and often high beam current. This will include data from our new Gather-X Windowless EDS detector, which can detect ultra-low energy elements such as lithium (with Li K line of 54 eV). The first part of the webinar will focus on sample preparation with our air-isolated CROSS SECTION POLISHER TM, imaging with an SEM, and analysis with an Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS). We will show examples of the methods used to prepare and transfer the samples to the instrument of choice, in an inert transfer vessel without exposure to the atmosphere. In webinar 1/3 of the series, we will discuss the solutions for preparing, imaging, and analyzing lithium-ion batteries with various instruments and techniques. Webinar 1: Solutions for Imaging & Microanalysis of Lithium Ion Batteries using SEM, EPMA, SXES, and Auger The resulting pristine cross sections and ultrahigh resolution images serve to better inform researchers about the quality of their battery materials and designs. In this 3-part webinar series, we will demonstrate our air-isolated workflow for cross-sectional preparation, imaging, and chemical analysis of the cells before and after charging cycles, as well as the imaging and analysis of the raw materials. Since some of these materials containing Li are reactive in ambient environments, being able to prepare, image, and analyze samples without exposing them to the atmosphere becomes vitally important. Ultrathin layers of cathode materials, separators, anode materials, metal current collectors, and electrolytes – all in the form of powders, sheets, and fluids – are each of different compositions and hardnesses. During the development and assessment of their performance, lithium-ion batteries can present unique challenges for imaging and analysis. The drive is on to improve the performance of Lithium-ion batteries, particularly to increase energy density, life cycle, and safety. Join this 3-part webinar series running from October - January titled, Advanced Techniques in Lithium Ion Batteries and Next Generation Battery Material Characterization.
