Optofluidic Raman Analysis and Capacity Recovery in Li‐ion Cells
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Operando Raman spectroscopy is used to monitor the degradation of commercial Li‐ion cells. Using a microfluidic access port, small amounts of electrolyte are sampled into a hollow‐core optical fibre, where fibre‐enhanced Raman analysis reveals Li+ solvation changes and solvent evolution.
