Neutron Depth Profiling (NDP) is a non-destructive, isotope-specific, high-resolution nuclear analytical technique, which is often used to probe lithium or boron concentration profiles in different thin substrates. NDP provides depth sensitivities up to a few ten nanometers and the maximum viewing depth is limited to tens of micrometers. The non-destructive nature of the measurement is of special interest for lithium-ion batteries, where the lithium transport processes can be studied during operation. However, due to the limited viewing depth a special battery cell design is required, which is transparent for the charged particles while ensuring an undisturbed battery performance even at low ambient pressures. We present NDP measurements on lithium-ion batteries performed using a newly developed cell design and discuss insights into the lithium transport processes occurring in the anode material during battery operation.
