This application note demonstrates how Massbox addresses critical characterization needs across the lithium-ion battery lifecycle—from raw material quality control to post-mortem failure analysis.
Using LLZO solid-state electrolyte samples, it showcases the detection of trace impurities, mapping of defect compositions, and characterization of lithium dendrite formation.
The document illustrates how the vacuum-based system enables analysis of air- and moisture-sensitive battery materials through elemental mapping, 3D characterization, and depth profiling.
Results demonstrate comprehensive detection from low-mass elements like lithium to high-mass elements like lanthanum and tantalum, providing insights critical for new battery chemistry development, electrode manufacturing process control, and cell testing failure analysis.
