Neutron depth profiling (NDP) allows for the determination of the in depth distribution of an appropriate light elements in a few micrometers of solids. It is based on the energy analysis of charged particles produced upon the capture of thermal (cold) neutrons by isotopes with a large neutron cross-section. This technique is the method of choice for studies of Li migration in all solid state...

Neutron imaging is a valuable tool for non-destructive testing of a huge variety of samples. The high sensitivity of cold neutrons for light elements such as H and Li combined with a good penetration of many metals may provide complimentary information to standard x-ray or synchrotron CT. Particularly in energy production and -storage the materials mentioned above are frequently employed. This...

Energy storage & transformation
Contributed
Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier for the future, especially for mobile applications. It can be stored safely and reversibly at high volumetric densities in hydrogen storage tanks filled with light metal hydrides.
Due to the sensitivity of neutrons towards hydrogen, in situ Neutron Radiography (NR) is the ideal technique for time-resolved investigations of the hydrogenation process of...

Energy storage & transformation
Keynote
The demands for a transition from nuclear and fossil energy generation processes towards more environmental neutral ones have induced new research fields for innovative materials, energy conversion procedures and energy storage devices. For a perfect understanding and the determination of the performance modern research tools are utilized and common.
In this context, neutron imaging methods...
