| contents | Understanding the performance of electrochemical energy storage systems requires probing the electrochemical properties at each layer and interface during cell operation. While traditional onboard and operando methods can measure impedance, voltage, or capacity, they lack spatial resolution to pinpoint the properties to specific layers and interfaces. In this work, we describe an approach of using thermal waves to measure entropy change, transport resistance, and charge-transfer resistance with depth resolution of a few microns within an electrochemical cell. We achieve this by relating heat generation at multiple harmonics of an AC current to electrochemical processes and leveraging frequency dependence of thermal penetration depth for spatial resolution. We name this frequency domain spectroscopy of the thermal signatures of the electrochemical processes measured at multiple harmonics of the alternating current as Multi-harmonic ElectroThermal Spectroscopy (METS). This technique enables isolation and measurement of solvation entropy at individual electrode-electrolyte interfaces from the first harmonic (1ω) thermal signature and resolution of the overall interfacial impedance into charge-transfer and interface transport resistance components from the second harmonic (2ω) thermal signature. From this, we also demonstrate an operando measurement of the growth of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer at the lithium-electrolyte interface and show that two chemically similar electrodes can have significantly different interfacial transport resistance based on the preparation of the electrodes. Additionally, the method is not specific to lithium-ion chemistry and can therefore be generalized for all electrochemical systems of interest. |
