Abstract
We present spectroscopic neutron imaging (SNI), a bridge between imaging and scattering techniques, for the analysis of hydrogenated molecules in lithium-ion cells. The scattering information of CHn-based organic solvents and electrolytes was mapped in two-dimensional space by investigating the wavelength-dependent property of hydrogen atoms through time-of-flight imaging. Our investigation demonstrates a novel approach to detect physical and chemical changes in hydrogenated liquids, which extends, but not limits, the use of SNI to relevant applications in electrochemical devices, e.g., the study of electrolytes in Li-ion batteries.
