To improve the energy density of Li-ion batteries, new high-energy-density battery chemistry must be investigated. The increased capacity will increase the distance an electric car can drive with a fully charged battery. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful tool to image battery materials.
