dc.description.abstract<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>Operando</jats:italic> electrochemical transmission electron microscopy (ec‐TEM) is a promising tool for advanced characterization of energy systems close to their operating conditions. However, reliable sample preparation for the technique is particularly challenging due to spatial constraints. Here, a novel approach of manufacturing such samples is introduced and demonstrated for industrially relevant battery powders: NMC811 and LTO (LiNi<jats:sub>0.8</jats:sub>Mn<jats:sub>0.1</jats:sub>Co<jats:sub>0.1</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and Li<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>Ti<jats:sub>5</jats:sub>O<jats:sub>12</jats:sub>). Aerosol‐jet printing is used to deposit microscale patterns of battery active material particles on the electrodes of commercial ec‐TEM chips. This method provides high spatial resolution (line width &lt; 30 µm) and accuracy, ease of ink preparation, flexibility of materials, and ability to manufacture complex structures (layered or mixed materials). Size selectivity of aerosol jet printing and its positive implications for ec‐TEM sample preparation are also discussed. This procedure is a promising solution to the difficult problem of micro‐battery fabrication for ec‐TEM and for other applications where high spatial resolution deposition from powders is required.</jats:p>
