Abstract

The device developed here for XRD analysis is built on a Guinier–Lenné geometry camera. A monochromatized and focused beam goes through the plastic Li-ion cell protected by a metal–plastic laminate. Each layer of the cell produces diffracted beams that are collected by an X-ray film on the focus circle. The film is continuously moved up (1–2 mm/h) while the Li-ion cell is charged and discharged, and controlled by means of the Mac-pile system. This system allows the control of intercalation rate either in potentiostatic mode or in galvanostatic mode (Mac Pile, Bio-Logic SA, Claix, France). The crystallographic behavior of both plastic electrodes can be simultaneously and continuously observed under the real conditions of a commercial battery. LixNiO2 and C graphite as positive and negative electrodes are given as an example, respectively. Structural and chemical parameters evolving from the two electrodes can easily be correlated with the cycling curves. Studies can also be performed from room temperature up to 100 °C.
