Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been widely employed as an important technique for detecting morphology in various secondary battery applications. When integrated with diverse accessories, TEM could attain sub-angstrom level detection, cryogenic TEM (cryo-TEM), and other functionalities, which enables the observation and comprehension of the microstructure of secondary battery materials, as well as structural variations during battery charging and discharging processes. In this chapter, essential structures, main functions, and sample preparation methods of TEM are introduced. Additionally, applications of TEM in characterizing materials used in secondary batteries are discussed and summarized. The aim is to provide essential guidance for employing TEM and to facilitate its future development.
