Raman Spectroscopy for Li-ion Battery Material Diagnostics

Available on Demand

This presentation explores the application of Raman spectroscopy as a non-destructive, high-resolution diagnostic tool for characterizing the electrode materials.

By viewing this presentation you will:

  • Understand how Raman spectroscopy is applied as a non-destructive technique to characterize lithium-ion battery electrode materials and electrolytes.
  • Recognize the sensitivity of Raman spectroscopy to local chemical environments, lattice dynamics, amorphous phases, and degradation mechanisms.
  • Explain the role of in situ and operando Raman techniques in monitoring phase transitions and lithium-ion intercalation under operating conditions.
  • Relate Raman spectral changes to electrochemical performance to support material optimization and battery safety.

Event Overview

The performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are fundamentally linked to the structural and chemical stability of their electrode materials and electrolytes. This presentation explores the application of Raman spectroscopy as a non-destructive, high-resolution diagnostic tool for characterizing the electrode materials. Unlike traditional X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy is very sensitive to local chemical environments, lattice dynamics, and amorphous phases, making it ideal for monitoring postsynthetic impurities, phase transitions, lithium-ion intercalation processes, and possible degradation mechanisms. 

The presentation highlights the transition from static characterization to in situ and operando techniques, which allow for real-time observation of ionic transport and structural changes under actual operating conditions. By correlating Raman spectral changes with electrochemical performance, this diagnostic approach provides insights for optimizing material synthesis and further enhancing the energy storage safety.

    Dominika Buchberger, PhD

    Scientific Project Manager, Laboratory of Energy Storage Technologies and Applied Radiochemistry (LESTAR)
    Faculty of Chemistry, University of Warsaw

    Dr. Dominika Buchberger graduated from the European Master's program, "Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion," in 2010. In 2016, she earned her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Warsaw. During her Ph.D. studies, she completed three internships at the University of Louisville in the United States and Tatung University in Taiwan. She completed a two-year postdoctoral internship at the University of Louisville, where she worked on a project funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. After returning to Poland in 2018, she joined the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Warsaw and took an assistant professor position. Since then, she has run four scientific and R&D projects on Li-ion batteries as the principal investigator. In 2021, she started a research group on the circular economy of Li-ion batteries. She is a motivated and passionate researcher in material science and solid-state chemistry. Her areas of expertise include processing and modifying solid-state materials for energy storage and characterizing them using advanced tools (Raman spectroscopy, XPS, SEM, TEM, EDS, X-ray and electron diffraction) as well as electrochemical characterization and battery recycling. She has published 39 original scientific papers, which have collectively received over 1000 citations. Her current h-index stands at 20.
