Abstract:
The review is concerned with analysis and generalization of information on application of neutron scattering to study the structure of materials for small-size power sources (mainly lithium-ion cells) and the structural rearrangements in these materials occurring in the course of electrochemical processes. Applications of several key methods including neutron diffraction, small-angle neutron scattering, inelastic neutron scattering, neutron reflectometry and neutron introscopy are considered. Information on modern neutron sources is presented and a number of typical experiments are outlined. The results of studies of lithium-containing materials for lithium-ion cells carried out at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor are discussed. Bibliography — 50 references.
