Surface, microstructure and transport analytics of energy storage materials
Modern state-of-the-art energy materials are subject to the highest demands in terms of functionality, durability, and sustainability. To better understand the fundamental physical processes in these materials and at their surfaces, research is focused on (operando) surface and structural analysis. For this purpose, electron-based techniques such as scanning electron microscopy or electron backscatter diffraction, as well as chemical analysis methods like X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy or mass spectrometry, are employed to investigate both material surfaces and hidden interfaces between different materials. In addition, the research focus extends to electronic and ionic transport within the bulk and along these interfaces.
