Abstract

The first part of this study investigates how PEFM, an electronically conductive binder mediates the formation and composition of the SEI on the surface of an amorphous Si (a-Si) thin film electrode. The SEI layer is probed using in situ neutron reflectometry to understand the thickness, roughness and/or diffuseness of the layer. In addition, information related to the chemical composition is gained from the measured scattering length density value. Results indicate a large layer, ~ 800 Å thick forms on the surface of the anode.
