4D imaging of lithium-batteries using correlative neutron and X-ray tomography with a virtual unrolling technique
This study used correlative X-ray and neutron computed tomography (CT), along with a virtual unrolling technique, to create 4D images of lithium-ion battery operation. The research revealed how lithium distribution, electrolyte consumption, and electrode degradation (like cracking) change during battery discharge, highlighting a more active lithium intercalation at the outer electrode windings due to less compression.
