AB - Laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) is introduced as a complementary technique for the analysis of interphases formed at electrode|electrolyte interfaces in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). An understanding of these interphases is crucial for designing interphase-forming electrolyte formulations and increasing battery lifetime. Especially organic species are analyzed more effectively using LDI-MS than with established methodologies. The combination with trapped ion mobility spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry yields additional structural information of interphase components. Furthermore, LDI-MS imaging reveals the lateral distribution of compounds on the electrode surface. Using the introduced methods, a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action of the established solid electrolyte interphase-forming electrolyte additive 3,4-dimethyloxazolidine-2,5-dione (Ala-N-CA) for silicon/graphite anodes is obtained, and active electrochemical transformation products are unambiguously identified. In the future, LDI-MS will help to provide a deeper understanding of interfacial processes in LIBs by using it in a multimodal approach with other surface analysis methods to obtain complementary information.
