New Spectroscopic Technique Could Accelerate the Push for Better Batteries
Method developed at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source measures electronic changes in a working battery electrode
A new technique developed at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source could help scientists better understand and improve the materials required for high-performance lithium-ion batteries that power EVs and other applications.
The technique, which uses soft X-ray spectroscopy, measures something never seen before: the migration of ions and electrons in an integrated, operating battery electrode. (more…)
