Abstract

Batteries have been a cornerstone of portable power solutions since their inception. From powering simple gadgets to enabling the proliferation of electric vehicles, their role in modern technology cannot be understated. Ensuring optimal battery performance and longevity is crucial, necessitating rigorous analysis through electrochemical tests and advanced characterization techniques. This chapter delves into the fundamental principles of electrochemical cells and explores essential electrochemical testing methods such as galvanostatic charge-discharge, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Additionally, it covers essential characterization techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray computed tomography, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, highlighting their importance in understanding material properties and battery behavior. The chapter also discusses standardized methods and protocols for battery materials research, ensuring consistency and reliability in experimental results. Through case studies and real-world applications, this chapter offers comprehensive insights into the current state of battery analysis and the future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
