Neutron Depth Profiling is a non-destructive, isotope specific, high-resolution nuclear analytical technique, which is sensitive to several light isotopes like He-3, B-10, Li-6, N-14, O-17. Upon neutron capture the investigated nuclei undergo nuclear reactions and emit charged particles. The energy loss through matter is correlated to depth information and a depth profile of elemental concentrations are obtained. We present the first material measurements at the recently established N4DP setup at the NL4b beamline, where cold neutrons are used to irradiate the samples with a flux of up to 3E10 s-1cm-2. We introduce the method, show applications in different material science branches and present results from an ex situ study of new electrode coating materials for lithium-ion batteries. Special interest here is the formation of passive solid-electrolyte-interfaces (SEI), where NDP offers the opportunity to monitor the depth dependent SEI evolution.
