A new neutron depth profiling (NDP) spectrometer has been designed and built for the use at a high intensity focused cold neutron beam of the reflectometer MARIA at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ, Germany). The extremely high neutron flux at the sample position of MARIA joined with the multiple charged particle detectors allows less than 10 s sampling rate and paves the way to study the kinetics of Li ions in thin-film microbatteries. The performance of the spectrometer with standard calibration samples and (Formula presented.) amorphous thin films is presented; possibilities to operando study the Li distribution inside thin-film rechargeable lithium batteries are discussed.
