Description:

(abstract)

In response to the evolving demands in energy storage, the review underscores the critical need for ongoing research in battery technology, specifically centred to indispensable role of Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) which aims to characterize the intricate components of all kind of batteries. This article extensively examines SIMS applications, illuminating aspects such as chemical compositions, structural arrangements, electronic behaviours, and various parameters like bulk and grain diffusion coefficients. All these effective parameters analysis extends to the discussion of in-situ studies, suggesting the potential for operando SIMS and emphasizing their vital role in real-time monitoring during battery operations. These studies unveil intricate interactions at solid-solid interfaces, exerting a significant influence on overall battery performance. By spotlighting recent advances and emerging trends, the review summarizes and examines case studies by various researchers on the use of SIMS for analysing battery-related materials.
