基于FIB-SEM制备非均质透射电镜样品的技术创新研究

Research on Technological Innovations in Preparing Heterogeneous TEM Samples Using FIB-SEM

  • 摘要: 聚焦离子束−扫描电子显微镜(FIB-SEM)双束系统结合了电子光学镜筒的强大成像与分析性能以及聚焦离子束镜筒的优异加工能力,已成为透射电镜(TEM)样品制备的重要手段之一。随着FIB-SEM双束系统应用领域的不断拓展,其辐射的材料种类越来越广,制备样品不再局限于均质材料体系,比如组织结构及成份不均匀的非均质材料。因非均质材料透射样品制备难度大、成功率低,常规工艺已无法满足该类样品的制备需求。本文针对锂电池电极材料的非均质特征,通过改进沉积流程、优化减薄工艺和辅以逐级吹扫措施,实现了选定非均质区域TEM样品的高效制备,提出了一种FIB非均质透射样品制备技术,这种技术可拓展运用到多种非均质材料体系,助力科技创新和人才培养。

     

    Abstract: The focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) combining powerful imaging and analysis performance of electronic optical tube with excellent processing capability of focused ion beam tube has become one of the important methods for preparing transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples. With the continuous expansion of the application fields of FIB-SEM dual beam system, the types of materials applied to FIB-SEM are becoming increasingly diverse, and the preparation samples are also no longer limited to homogeneous materials, for example, heterogeneous materials with uneven organizational structure and composition. Due to the high difficulty and low success rate in preparing TEM samples of heterogeneous materials, conventional techniques can no longer meet the requirements for such sample preparation. This work focuses on the heterogeneous characteristics of lithium battery electrode materials. By improving the deposition process, optimizing thinning technique, and incorporating stepwise blowing measure, an efficient TEM sample preparation of selected heterogeneous regions is achieved. Such FIB-based preparation method for heterogeneous TEM samples can be extended to a wide range of heterogeneous material systems, thereby assisting scientific innovation and talent cultivation.
