Abstract

The Raman spectroscopy has been widely used in the study of lithium ion batteries.In this short review,we gave some examples of the applications of Raman spectroscopy in the study of electrode materials including carbonaceous materials,spinel LiMxMn2-x O4,LiFePO4,as well as polymer electrolytes,room temperaturemolten salt electrolytes and the solid-electrolyte interphase layers.The advantages and disadvantages of the ex-situ and in-situ Raman spectrum techniques are discussed.Using new Raman techniques to investigate Li-ion batteries are suggested.

Keywords

Raman spectroscopy, lithium ion batteries, anode materials, cathode materials, polymer electrolytes, room temperature molten salt electrolytes, solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI), surface enhanced Ramanscattering(SERS)
