The dynamic changes of ionic conduction path in the cross-sectional graphite composite electrodes of bulk-type all-solid-state lithium batteries have been monitored using operando confocal microscopic observations for color changes of graphite in response to their stage structures. The ionic conduction path decreased in the cross-sectional direction as cycle numbers increased, with simultaneous capacity degradation. The local reactivity of lithiation and delithiation was evaluated by image analysis considering state-of-charge (SOC) values. Electrode thickness changes were examined from the confocal microscope images obtained in the operando observations. The results revealed that voids and cracks were formed during cycle tests and that the thickness gradually increased. These cracks and voids were one of the main contributors to the limitation of ionic conduction paths in the depth direction. Operando microscopic observation and subsequent image analysis elucidated not only the morphological changes of active materials but also the differences in local SOC changes in the electrode.
