Summary: Research shows that commercialization of lithium metal anode faces challenges such as dendrite formation, side reactions, and volume changes. Various strategies are implemented to improve the cycling performance of the anode, but a clear understanding of lithium deposition/dissolution behavior and dendrite growth mechanism is still lacking. New characterization techniques like NDP offer potential in studying the evolution of lithium metal anodes.

Summary: This study characterizes the temperature and mechanical strain of high-rate lithium-ion batteries using advanced synchrotron XRD methods. The results show that the discharge time and optimization strategy significantly affect the internal temperature of the battery under the same current. The temperature rise is caused by heat accumulation, which is influenced by the charging protocol and battery degradation.

Summary: Silicon is a promising candidate for anode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its high specific capacity, but suffers from poor capacity retention due to volume changes and side reactions. Alternative compositions like silicon-graphite (SiG) with lower silicon content and similar working voltage can reduce volume changes and side reactions while maintaining high capacity. Neutron depth profiling (NDP) provides the unique ability to quantify lithium concentration profiles and reveal homogeneous irreversible lithium accumulation within the entire electrode depth.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach for high-resolution and nondestructive measurement of nanoscale film thickness using the neutron depth profiling(NDP) technique. The measurement results exhibited a deviation from the actual thickness of less than 1%, highlighting the accuracy of the proposed method. Simulations conducted on graphene samples demonstrated the applicability of NDP in measuring the thickness of multilayer graphene films, enhancing the validity and practicality of the proposed technique.

Summary: The characterization and visualization of multiphase flows play a significant role in nuclear engineering research, and neutron imaging technique provides a non-invasive and accurate method for studying multiphase flow. Two-dimensional neutron radiography has limitations in temporal and spatial resolutions, while three-dimensional neutron computed tomography allows for clearer observation of objects and dynamic phenomena.

Summary: The co-precipitation of Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1(OH)(2) (NCM811) and Mg-doped (0.25 wt% and 0.5 wt%) NCM811 precursors from concentrated metal sulphate solutions was investigated. The study aimed to understand the impact of magnesium dopant on the co-precipitation step and the performance of Li-ion battery cells using NCM811 as the cathode active material. The results showed that magnesium was fully co-precipitated in the NCM811 precursors and evenly distributed throughout the sample. However, contrary to expectations, magnesium doping did not improve the cyclability of coin cells. Evaluation in pouch cells after 1000 cycles showed a slight improvement in cyclability. Washing effects were observed in lattice parameters, and washing also decreased the capacity retention after 62 cycles for all samples.

Summary: Neutron depth profiling (NDP) can be used to quantitatively determine the distribution of lithium within micron-scale battery electrode materials and determine intra- and inter-electrode parameters. By lithiating a tin electrode at a constant potential and monitoring lithium movement in situ using NDP, diffusion constants are found to be in good agreement with each other, significantly reducing the reported range of values for this system.

Summary: This study investigates the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in the separator membrane of lithium-ion batteries. Different types of MOFs were prepared and their effects on the properties of the membrane were studied. The results show that the addition of MOFs reduces the resistivity of the battery, leading to improved performance and prolonged lifespan.

Summary: In this study, the transport of lithium ions in an all-solid-state battery was quantitatively tracked in near real time using a high-intensity thermal neutron source and lithium-6 as a tracer in a thermal neutron-induced nuclear reaction. The authors also determined the mechanism and pathway of lithium-ion migration through the solid electrolyte by in-operando tracking. These results have important implications for the further development of all-solid-state batteries.
