Understanding the complicated interplay of the continuously evolving electrode materials in their inherent 3D states during the battery operating condition is of great importance for advancing rechargeable battery research. In this regard, the synchrotron X‐ray tomography technique, which enables non‐destructive, multi‐scale, and 3D imaging of a variety of electrode components before/during/after battery operation, becomes an essential tool to deepen this understanding. The past few years have witnessed an increasingly growing interest in applying this technique in battery research. Hence, it is time to not only summarize the already obtained battery‐related knowledge by using this technique, but also to present a fundamental elucidation of this technique to boost future studies in battery research. To this end, this review firstly introduces the fundamental principles and experimental setups of the synchrotron X‐ray tomography technique. After that, a user guide to its application in battery research and examples of its applications in research of various types of batteries are presented. The current review ends with a discussion of the future opportunities of this technique for next‐generation rechargeable batteries research. It is expected that this review can enhance the reader's understanding of the synchrotron X‐ray tomography technique and stimulate new ideas and opportunities in battery research.

Electrode materials undergo complex structural variations during the operation of secondary batteries. Three-dimensional characterization of these changes offers researchers a more in-depth and comprehensive insight into the dynamically evolving complex interactions compared to the conventional two-dimensional characterization. Synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography technology, which is capable of non-destructively conducting multi-scale and 3D imaging of battery components in both static and operational states, has emerged as an indispensable tool for enhancing further understanding of secondary battery research in recent years. Here, in this chapter, the integration of synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography technology and pertinent knowledge within the context of secondary battery research is undertaken, which is aimed at advancing the application of synchrotron radiation X-ray tomography technology in future secondary battery research. This chapter initiates by elucidating the essential principles and experimental apparatus of synchrotron X-ray tomography technology, followed by exploring its applications in both positive and negative electrode materials of secondary batteries. Last, typical application software and cases of data processing are presented and introduced. We anticipate that this chapter will enhance the readers' understanding of synchrotron X-ray tomography technology, and provide novel insights to inspire its application in secondary battery investigations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
