is an appropriate analytical technique for the investigation
of thin film Li ion battery components, especially when the
depth and spatial distribution of lithium inside a battery
component or even the whole thin film cell are of interest.
Analytical techniques using electron or x-ray beams for
elemental detection are not able to access lithium in a
sufficient way due to its low atomic number of Z=3. The low
detection limits of ToF-SIMS and its eminent spatial
resolution make this technique a suitable candidate to
investigate the interface between different functional
battery layers or to visualize the lithium distribution
within e.g. the active cathode layer. Therefore, a layered
structure of a thin film all solid state battery system with
a typical thickness of a few micrometers is an ideal model
system for a detailed ToF-SIMS study. While operating in the
dual beam mode, the ToF-SIMS is able to investigate all
electrochemical active layers of the battery in one depth
profile.The starting point of this study is the
investigation of thin films of the commonly used cathode
material LiCoO2. The thin film cathodes are prepared by a
radio frequency sputter deposition process. The first aspect
is the investigation of the deposition process by ToF-SIMS
and by other analytical methods like e.g. scanning electron
microscopy or x-ray diffraction. Using these techniques, the
impact of different deposition parameters like e.g. the
deposition temperature or the effect of an additional
interlayer as diffusion barrier and adhesion layer is
investigated. This knowledge is applied to enable the
reproducible production of samples. The key aspect of this
study is monitoring the lithiation and delithiation process
of the LiCoO2 cathode material using post mortem ToF-SIMS
analysis. Therefore, different thin film batteries with
LiCoO2 cathodes in combination with liquid electrolytes and
also solid state electrolytes are cycled to different states
of charge. Afterwards elemental distributions (especially
Li) within the cathode are measured by ToF-SIMS and the
different states of charge (SOC) are compared in a semi
quantitative way. It is discussed, how the deintercalation
of lithium during charging affects the matrix environment
and hence the characteristics of the depth profiles. In
order to get also a quantitative insight into the Li
distribution within the thin films, 2 MeV p nuclear reaction
analysis and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy
are used as quantitative comparison methods.},
