A variety of in situ techniques with high lateral resolution has been developed or adapted for battery research. Surprisingly, nanoelectrochemistry is not attracting sufficient attention from the battery community despite the existing examples of relevant in situ and highly resolved spatiotemporal information. Herein, the important role of nanoelectrochemistry in battery research is highlighted to help encourage its use in this field. In the first part, two examples in which the use of nanoelectrochemistry is a must are provided, that is, determination of intrinsic kinetics of active materials and understanding of relationships between particle structure and electrochemical activity. In the second part, pros and cons of three mature nanoelectrochemistry techniques in battery research, that is, particle-on-a-stick measurements, nanoimpact measurements, and scanning electrochemical probe microscopy, are discussed providing representative examples. 2451-9103 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/5810 10.1016/j.coelec.2020.09.002 Electrochemical energy storage Battery Active material Nanoelectrochemistry Single entity Why nanoelectrochemistry is necessary in battery research?
