Three-dimensional analysis of the positive electrode mixture layer using the 3D-SEM method

in a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery model samples

All-solid-state batteries have high safety and are expected as next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Using the 3D-SEM method, the shape and size of each part of electrode can be observed three-dimensionally. Here, we show an example of a comparative study using three kinds of model samples in which the ratio of each part of electrode (with only the active materials and solid electrolytes) was changed.

Ⅱ: Extraction of each part and calculation of characteristic quantities by image analysis

Each part of an electrode can be extracted by image analysis. In addition, quantitative evaluation such as volume fraction and coverage can be performed using the extracted images.
