In situ atomic force microscopy

The lithium morphology at the beginning of the deposition was measured by in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) [42], When lithium was deposited at 0.6 C cm2, small particles 200-1000 nm in size were deposited on the thin lines and grain boundaries in LiC104-PC. Lump-like growth was observed in LiAsF6-PC along the line.

Initial work examined structures formed on Cu h,k,l) surfaces in the acid electrochemical environment. Figure 2 shows adlayer structures formed on the Cu(100) [10] and Cu(llO) [11] electrode surfaces as imaged by in- situ atomic force microscopy. On the Cu(100) surface a (V2 x V2)R45° adlattice structure was observed at all but the... 

Using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM), they showed that reversible relaxation takes place via the micron-sized triangular domains that are defined by the ridge network (see Section 7.2.3.5). The domains expand one by one.

The characterization of the resultant film by VC was carried out by various methods. The CH = CHOCO Li was detected by infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS). It also was speculated that the formation of polymers having -OCOjLi group affords good adhesiveness and flexibility to the passivation film. The deposition process by VC reduction, which started from 1.3 V vs. LP/Li, was monitored by in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the film thickness down to 0.8 V was about 10 nm. Ex-situ AFM also revealed an ultra-thin film (less than 1 nm) on the terrace of the basal plane of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG)...
