Structure dependent stability is a concern for the achievement of high energy density electrode with long cycling lifetime, especially for alloying-type and conversion-type anodes. Substantial alterations in volume upon discharge-discharge process leads to particle pulverization and continuous consumption of electrolyte. Moreover, the nucleation and growth mechanism of Li₂O and Li₂S, which determines the rate performance of Li-O₂ and Li-S batteries, are still understudy. Microstructure characterization techniques have been applied to disclose the structural changes of active material at different charge/discharge states. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) attracts considerable attention because of the high flux, high time resolution and nondestructive characteristics. In addition, SAXS patterns provide statistics structural information of electrode at micrometer scale. The commonly used coin cell with punched holes simplifies the application of in situ/operando SAXS measurement. Here, this review discusses the research about the SAXS technique in the characterization of electrode in different batteries.
