Battery cells are essential in modern life as they are extensively used in mobile phones, personal computers, and even in automobiles as the power source in recent years.
The shift to battery vehicles (BEV) is rapidly advancing worldwide in order to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 which is to “reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions to zero”. The research and development on rechargeable battery cells that can be used repeatedly, are progressing for the use of power source of BEV and larger energy storage system (ESS). To improve both the performance and quality of these battery cells, analyses and evaluations by using various high-performance evaluation instruments are required.
JEOL offers a wide variety of analytical instruments available for morphological observations, surface analyses, structure analyses, and chemical analyses at micro- to nano-scales for the purpose of research, development, and quality improvement.
This Solid-state battery Note has been created with the samples provided by Prof. Atsunori Matsuda, Toyohashi University of Technology (Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering), to provide solutions and reference information for research and development of solid-state batteries evolving from the lithium ion batteries (LIBs).
