Energy storage devices, such as batteries, are necessary aspects of modern life.[1] A wide range of industries and fields such as personal computing, aerospace technology, and transportation are highly dependent on access to reliable, uninterrupted power supplies, which are most conveniently provided using lithium-ion battery devices. Lithium-ion batteries have been widely adopted due to their advantages, such as high energy density, large capacity, low self-discharge, and high output potential, creating an area of major interest both in academia and industry.[2] As such a significant amount of research is focused on improving the cells’ performance based on active materials, optimized designs, and reliable diagnostics, which gives rise to variation in batteries’ capacity and power output.Although the power and energy density of batteries have increased, diagnostics methods are lagging behind. Battery management systems rely on the occasional thermocouple and full-cell potential, with very limited knowledge of the anode and cathode state. Reference electrodes (REs) address this issue by enabling insight into per-electrode processes of Li-ion cells. Despite significant research in the field of energy storage over several decades, a reliable, user-friendly, and artifact-free commercial cell configuration containing a chemically stable reference electrode is far from being widely available,[3] as to the best of our knowledge no currently available commercial Li-ion batteries are equipped with a dedicated reference electrode. This limits the optimization and monitoring capabilities, and leads to the black-box problem where we only know input and output, without understanding the internal behavior, because information on limiting processes and individual cell components cannot be obtained.[4]
