[Abstract]

In-situ observation of ion motion in solid electrolytes is of great importance in understanding the transport phenomena underpinning the processing and properties of potential materials for advanced energy applications. Here, we present a facile and non-contact method to directly observe the motion of an ion in solid electrolytes. For example, we apply this method to measure ion diffusivity directly in oxygen and sodium conductive electrolytes. In this instance, an inhomogeneous distribution of the targeted ion in a solid is first created via an applied electric field (or magnetic, thermal, gradient, and other fields alternatively). Subsequently, the ion relaxes back to a uniform distribution as the external field is removed. The homogenization process is detected and recorded by a laser confocal micro Raman spectroscopy system. The diffusivity of the ion in solid electrolytes is subsequently determined by simulating and fitting the measured spatial and time-dependent concentration profiles. The obtained diffusivities are reliable. The measurement is non-contacting and facile, in comparison with existing alternative methods. By applying different external forces and detecting means, a generic method for the in-situ observation of ion motions and investigation of the ion transport mechanisms in solids is envisioned.
