Air Protection System for Structural Analysis of High Active Materials

Abstract

In order to analyze high active materials such as lithium ion battery’s electrodes, an air protection system was developed consisting of air protection specimen holders, a glove box, a focused ion beam system and an electron microscope. The effectiveness was tested using negative electrode of lithium ion battery after charged. As a result, it is possible to transport, fabricate and observe it without specimen transformation. The distribution of lithium was clearly identified.
