  Title The effect of the acceleration voltage on the quality of structure determination by 3D-electron diffraction Type A1 Journal Article
  Year 2024 Publication Ultramicroscopy Abbreviated Journal Ultramicroscopy  
  Volume 266 Issue Pages 114022  
  Keywords A1 Journal Article; Electron Microscopy for Materials Science (EMAT) ;  
  Abstract Nowadays, 3D Electron Diffraction (3DED) is widely used for the structure determination of sub-micron-sized particles. In this work, we investigate the influence of the acceleration voltage on the quality of 3DED datasets acquired on BaTiO3 nanoparticles. Datasets were acquired using a wide range of beam energies, from common, high acceleration voltages (300 kV and 200 kV) to medium (120 kV and 80 kV) and low acceleration voltages (60 kV and 30 kV). In the integration process, Rint increases as the beam energy reduces, which is mainly due to the increased dynamical scattering. Nevertheless, the structure was solved successfully in all cases. The structure refinement was comparable for all beam energies with small deficiencies such as negative atomic displacements for the heaviest atom in the structure, barium. Including extinction correction in the refinement noticeably improved the model for low acceleration voltages, probably due to higher beam absorption in these cases. Dynamical refinement, however, shows superior results for higher acceleration voltages, since the dynamical refinement calculations currently discard inelastic scattering effects.

  Title An Investigation on 3D Electron Diffraction and 4-Dimensional Scanning Diffraction Tomography Using a Scanning Electron Microscope Type P1 Conference Proceedings
  Year 2024 Publication Microscopy and Microanalysis Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 30 Issue Supplement_1 Pages  
  Keywords P1 Conference Proceedings; Electron Microscopy for Materials Science (EMAT) ;  
  Abstract During the last decade, 3D-Electron Diffraction (3D-ED) has emerged as a powerful technique for studying the structure of sub-micron particles. It is used in a variety of applications, from unit cell and space group determination to the complete solution of the structure similar to X-ray diffraction techniques. So far, this technique has been only implemented in Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs). Performing such an experiment in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) can be challenging, mainly due to the lower acceleration voltage. This lower beam energy raises concerns about severe multiple scattering and limited transmissivity of the sample for the weakly accelerated electrons.

In this work, we show the possibilities of operating similar studies in a modified SEM. For this aim, we equipped our SEM with a custom stage and holder, a direct electron detector and a custom high-angle annular dark-field detector (HAADF). A range of samples was studied in the form of lamellas and sub-micron particles, and the quality of the diffraction data was evaluated for different purposes, such as unit cell determination and space group determination. Moreover, the ability to integrate the diffraction data for structure solution and refinement has been assessed and compared to similar data acquired in a TEM.

Finally, we also demonstrate the potential for combining diffraction tomography and 4-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) in our setup. This method opens an avenue to obtain multiple 3DED datasets out of 5D-STEM data. These 3DED datasets can be created using object tracking methods from several regions of a multi-domain particle or from multiple single crystals within the scanning region. This provides an attractive route to high-throughput and statistically relevant characterization of polycrystalline materials or powders of nanoparticles.

  Title Electrophoretic deposition as a fabrication method for Li-ion battery electrodes and separators : a review Type A1 Journal article
  Year 2022 Publication Journal of power sources Abbreviated Journal J Power Sources  
  Volume 535 Issue Pages 231448-26

  Abstract Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) is one of the alternative methods to fabricate and enhance the performance of Li-ion batteries. It enables the fabrication of electrodes with outstanding qualities and different electrochemical properties by the great domination over various parameters. EPD facilitates the processing of electrodes by binder-free grafting of nanomaterials, such as graphene derivatives, carbon nanotube, and nanoparticles, into the battery electrodes. It also enables the assembly of the free-standing electrodes with 3D structure and provides possibilities, such as the fabrication of the electrodes with an oriented microstructure, even on 3D substrates to improve the energy or power density. In this review, after an introduction to EPD, the effect of EPD parameters on the properties of the prepared electrodes is reviewed. Then, EPD is compared with tape cast, and its advantages over the conventional method are evaluated. Also, employing the EPD method as an intermediate process is discussed. Finally, the application of EPD in the fabrication of separators is assessed, and the prospects for the future are described.
