Summary
Lithium-ion batteries have established themselves as the leading power source for mobile applications, however to meet ever increasing demands in energy density and durability, significant improvements must be realised. Whilst advances in each battery component (anode, electrolyte and cathode) are necessary, the cathode/electrolyte interface remains one of the least understood and least investigated aspects of battery design and thus provides one of the greatest opportunities to improve performance. This interface is the known location of battery degradation processes occurring at the nanometer level, however the use of appropriate investigative techniques to probe these length-scales is made difficult by complicated cathode chemistries and intricate surface geometries. Whilst there have been efforts to create ultra-low roughness (
