Panasonic Announces Development of Real Time Observation Technique to Reveal Lithium-Ion Dynamics During Charge and Discharge in All-Solid-State Batteries

On July 9, 2020, Panasonic Corporation announced development of technique to visualize lithium-ion dynamics in all-solid-state batteries on a nanometer scale in real time, in collaboration with Japan Fine Ceramics Center (JFCC) and Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability, Nagoya University. The technique, which makes use of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and machine learning, was applied to both bulk-type and thin-film-type all-solid-state lithium ion batteries.
