Move contrast X-ray imaging of electrochemical reaction process in electrolytic cell

The <i>in-situ</i> dynamic observation of ion migration and redox reactions during electrochemical is critical for the understanding charging discharging performance, characteristics, causes preventives defects in cells electrolytic cells. For convenience parameter tuning, an cell adopted to investigate reaction. processes reaction are investigated based on move contrast X-ray imaging. experimental results demonstrate that contrast-to-noise ratio imaging one order higher than conventional temporal subtraction initial status successfully revealed by images show at very beginning reaction, signals distribute almost evenly cell, which implicates initiated as soon switched occurs simultaneously all over other fact ions driven electric field, approach cathode then reduced through electron gain. obviously stronger positions inside shadow electrodes elsewhere. This means react densely electrodes. When electrical voltage adjusted a value methods hard observe or atom accumulation, can still disclose evidently trace movement clusters. Therefore, improve significantly sensitivity atoms electrolyte has great potentials in-situ investigating characteristics reactions.
