Tescan solutions for Batteries

Advanced Instruments for Research and Development Workflows
Post-Mortem Analysis for Optimization of Battery Cell Formation

Formation protocols define SEI properties and long-term performance. Tescan’s multimodal workflows reveal how different formation strategies influence stability and capacity.

  • Characterize SEI morphology and chemistry with SEM, STEM, and ToF-SIMS
  • Compare cycling protocols across graphite–LFP cells
  • Correlate fluorine infiltration, morphology, and performance retention
See application

Exploring Solid-state Lithium-Ion Batteries with FIB-SEM and ToF-SIMS

Solid-state batteries promise safer, higher-energy storage, but the real challenge lies at the interfaces. Tescan AMBER X 2 workflows expose interfacial integrity, adhesion, and lithium distribution.

  • Visualize electrolyte adhesion at solid-state interfaces
  • Map lithium accumulation and transport with ToF-SIMS
  • Identify cracking and degradation pathways in polymer-based solid-state batteries
See application

Nanoscale Phase Analysis in Battery Electrodes

Electrode performance depends on nanoscale phase behavior. Tescan TENSOR 4D-STEM workflows reveal orientation, strain, and crystallographic structure in advanced electrodes.

  • Distinguish phases at 5–10 nm scale in cathodes and anodes
  • Map orientation and strain to explain cracking and transport limits
  • Link phase behavior to cycling stability in Ni-rich NMC and NASICON materials 
See application

Heating of Lithium-Ion Battery and Visualization of Electrolyte Dynamics

Thermal stress drives structural change in cells. Tescan UniTOM XL enables in situ, non-destructive visualization of electrolyte movement and gas formation during heating.

  • Capture time-lapse 3D datasets during controlled heating
  • Track electrolyte redistribution and gas pocket evolution in real time
  • Detect defects and delamination without cutting the cell
See application
