Abstract

Microanalytical techniques can be used to: determine the distribution of chemicals; show interdiffusion of layers; identify contamination; measure the surface roughness of metal films; show the size, shape and morphology of powders; and characterize interactions between battery chemicals and the materials used in battery packaging. This paper shows examples of the uses of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis in battery materials characterization
