Exploring electrochemical devices using X-ray microscopy: 3D micro-structure of batteries and fuel cells

摘要

With improvements in microscopy and tomography techniques, researchers are increasingly equipped to establish direct relationships between the microscopic structure of electrode materials and their macroscopic performance at a device level. Here, we explore how multi-length scale X-ray microscopy can contribute significantly to the understanding of electrochemical devices, and will draw upon case studies of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and Li-ion battery electrode materials.
