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
In recent years, Time of Flight-Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOFSIMS) has been widely employed as a powerful surface characterization tool in secondary battery investigations. In this chapter, we introduced the essential working principle, fundamental functions, and basic components of TOF-SIMS, which hopefully could provide useful insights for potential users and readers with particular interests in TOF-SIMS measurement. Additionally, state-of-the-art practical applications and research progress of TOF-SIMS in secondary batteries, including electrode materials and electrode/electrolyte interfaces, were thoroughly reviewed and discussed.
