Researchers at Université Paris-Saclay have successfully employed the novel laser-induced breakdown self-reversal isotopic spectrometry (LIBRIS) technique to achieve high-resolution isotopic analysis of lithium in solid-state electrolytes for lithium batteries. The breakthrough method offers valuable insights into lithium transport mechanisms at a microscale level, holding promise for the development of safer and more efficient Li-ion batteries in the future.

A research group has utilized laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to analyze the contamination profiles of Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) limiter tiles after exposure to fusion plasma. The study revealed the presence of various contaminants, including boron, calcium, lithium, and eroded materials, providing valuable insights into the distribution and effects of fusion plasma on the surfaces of these tiles.
