In Situ TEM Study of Structural Changes in Na-beta ''-Alumina Using Electron Beam Irradiation [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Real-time structural changes in Na-beta ''-alumina were observed in situ using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with electron beam irradiation. Na-beta ''-alumina has been widely investigated as a solid electrolyte material for sodium-sulfur secondary batteries owing to its high ionic conductivity. This high conductivity is known to be due to the Na+ ions on the loosely packed conduction planes of Na-beta ''-alumina. In the present study, we acquired real-time videos of the generation of spinel blocks caused by the conduction of Na+ ions. In addition, by observing Na extraction during electron beam irradiation, we experimentally confirmed that spinel block generation originates from the Na+ ion conduction, which has been a subject of recent debate.
