Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), a highly surface-sensitive technique, can be used to reliably characterize the surface status of LMAs. However, as ToF-SIMS data are usually highly complex, manual data analysis can be difficult and time-consuming. In this study, machine learning techniques, especially logistic regression (LR), are used to identify the characteristic secondary ions of 5 different pure lithium compounds. Furthermore, these models are applied to the mixture and LMA samples to enable identification of their compositions based on the measured ToF-SIMS spectra. This machine-learning-based analysis approach shows good performance in identifying characteristic ions of the analyzed compounds that fit well with their chemical nature. Moreover, satisfying accuracy in identifying the compositions of unseen new samples is achieved. In addition, the scope and limitations of such a strategy in practical applications are discussed. This work presents a robust analytical method that can assist researchers in simplifying the analysis of the studied lithium compound samples, offering the potential for broader applications in other material systems.  \nKEYWORDS: lithium metal anode, all-solid-state battery, ToF-SIMS, machine-learning-assisted analysis, data science  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nLithium metal anodes (LMAs) are of great interest for future battery applications due to their high theoretical specific capacity and low redox potential. Particularly, LMAs have great potential for their use in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), because they are currently the sole option that could lead to ASSBs with a higher energy density than commercial lithiumion batteries (LIBs) using liquid electrolytes and graphite anodes.1 However, the application of LMAs still faces severe challenges, such as morphological instability and low Coulomb efficiency.2,3 Different investigations carried out so far on this topic indicate that one critical aspect of LMAs is the degradation process at the surface. Hence, the precise knowledge about contaminations and passivation compounds on its surface is key to unlocking LMA-based ASSBs.4−7  \nIn this context, we have previously reported how X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) can be used to reliably characterize lithium metal surfaces.8 On the one hand, XPS allows one to obtain both quantitative information on the surface elements and compounds and their qualitative depth distributions (depth profiling). On the other hand, ToF-SIMS depth profiling can complement the XPS results with higher lateral resolution and quantitative depth information, even if  \n\n| Received: July 4, 2023\u003Cbr>Accepted: September 13, 2023\u003Cbr>Published: October 18, 2023 |  |\n| --- | --- |\n\n© 2023 The Authors.
