Hello,

I'm a M.S. studying on alkali metal batteries.

However, as you know, that alkali metal electrodes are vulnerable from air pollution.

To get SEM images, without special devices, pollution is inevitable.

However, Vacuum transfer modules for SEM are too expensive...

How you treat metal electrodes to prevent air pollution???

I think there are several solutions,,,

Is it okay enough to use sealed vacuum desiccator and minimize time of air pollution??
