abstract = {The localisation and quantitative analysis of lithium (Li)
in battery materials, components, and full cells are
scientifically highly relevant, yet challenging tasks. The
methodical developments of MeV ion beam analysis (IBA)
presented here open up new possibilities for simultaneous
elemental quantification and localisation of light and heavy
elements in Li and other batteries. It describes the
technical prerequisites and limitations of using IBA to
analyse and solve current challenges with the example of
Li-ion and solid-state battery-related research and
development. Here, nuclear reaction analysis and Rutherford
backscattering spectrometry can provide spatial resolutions
down to 70 nm and $1\%$ accuracy. To demonstrate the new
insights to be gained by IBA, SiOx-containing graphite
anodes are lithiated to six states-of-charge (SoC) between
$0–50\%.$ The quantitative Li depth profiling of the
anodes shows a linear increase of the Li concentration with
SoC and a match of injected and detected Li-ions. This
unambiguously proofs the electrochemical activity of Si.
Already at $50\%$ SoC, we derive C/Li = 5.4 (< LiC6) when
neglecting Si, proving a relevant uptake of Li by the 8 atom
$\%$ Si (C/Si ≈ 9) in the anode with Li/Si ≤ 1.8 in this
case. Extrapolations to full lithiation show a maximum of
Li/Si = 1.04 ± 0.05. The analysis reveals all element
concentrations are constant over the anode thickness of 44
µm, except for a ~6-µm-thick separator-side surface layer.
Here, the Li and Si concentrations are a factor 1.23 higher
compared to the bulk for all SoC, indicating preferential Li
binding to SiOx. These insights are so far not accessible
with conventional analysis methods and are a first important
step towards in-depth knowledge of quantitative Li
distributions on the component level and a further
application of IBA in the battery community.},
