Abstract

We have developed an in situ and nanoscale Li diffusion measurement method in Li battery materials using an α-emitting radioactive 8Li tracer. In this method, while implanting a low-energy (8keV) 8Li beam, the α particles emitted at a small angle (10°) relative to the sample surface were detected as a function of time. Measurement for Li diffusion coefficients in a spinel phase LiMn2O4 (LMO) thin film has been started, which is used as an electrode in a Li ion secondary battery. An obvious Li diffusion effect in LMO was observed at the sample temperature of 623K, and the further measurement is underway.
