Quantitative microstructural analysis of lithium-ion battery cathodes
Utilizing ZEISS ZEN Intellesis for enhanced insight
12 Apr 2023In this application note, ZESS discusses the quantitative microstructure analysis of lithium-ion batteries using ZEN Intellesis. Two different segmentation methods: classic thresholding and machine learning-based were evaluated and compared against reference measurements using a laboratory balance. A detailed description of the fundamental functionality of the machine learning-based approach is given, and this approach has the potential to provide more accurate segmentation results due to its robustness against image variations.

Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
