As a future energy storage technology, solid-state batteries deliver potentially superior energy and power density and improved safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Their commercial implementation, however, is hampered by side reactions and electro-chemo-mechanical degradation that occurs during cycling operation, primarily on the cathode side. Many efforts have been made to reveal the underlying mechanisms to alleviate these intrinsic problems.
In a current study, the Thermo Scientific Inert Gas Sample Transfer (IGST) Workflow enabled a DualBeam FIB-SEM to TEM workflow by protecting bulk sample and prepared lamella under an argon atmosphere inside a CleanConnect Transfer Module.
