报告摘要：

In the first part of my talk, I will review our progress in using transmission electron micrsocopy – scanning probe microscopy (TEM-SPM) platform to probe the electrical and mechanical properties of individual carbon nanotubes and nanowires. Individual multiwall carbon nanotubes are peeled off layer-by-layer by electric breakdown inside the TEM. This provided new insights into the transport property of nanotubes. Plastic deformation, such as superplasticity, kink motion, dislocation climb, and vacancy migration, was discovered in nanotubes. In the second part of my talk, I’ll review our progress in in-situ studies of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). We created the first nanobattery inside a TEM, allowing for real time atomic scale observations of battery charging and discharging processes. Two types of nano battery cells, one ionic liquid based, and the other all solid based, were created. The former consists of a single nanowire anode, an ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte and a bulk LiCoO2 cathode; the latter uses Li2O as a solid electrolyte and metal Li as anode. The electrochemical process induced volume changes, phase transformations, and mechanical stress were revealed in real time and at an atomic scale. The results provide understanding of the fundamental science of LIBs, guiding the development of advanced LIBs for plug-in electric vehicle applications.
