I was recently interviewed by the Volta Foundation for their Battery Bits series, where I discussed how µXRF and LALI-TOF-MS enables high-throughput chemical imaging for battery R&D. This piece highlights my work at SLAC and my collaboration with EXUM Instruments on reference materials and multimodal diagnostics.



LALI-TOF-MS raster maps collected from Li anodes cycled against LNO, NC, NM, and NA cathodes for one-hundred cycles. Each row corresponds to a different anode chemistry, while each column displays the spatial distribution of a specific detected ion species. Highlighting differences in transition‑metal distribution, fluorine‑containing species, and lithium‑containing fragments. A 0.75 mm scale bar is shown on the first panel for reference. The colormap legend indicates regions of relatively low versus high ion concentration across all mass channels.
