Keynote
While the interest and frequency of performing operando neutron diffraction experiments for lithium ion batteries has increased significantly over the past few years, it is still not nearly as popular as operando X-ray diffraction. A major contributor to this is the high difficulty of constructing an electrochemical cell which balances both electrochemical performance, quality of the obtained...

First used to measure Boron impurities in silicon wafers, neutron depth profiling has recently gained renewed attention as a non-destructive method for studying of lithium concentration variations along the electrode depth in lithium ion batteries. The presenter will demonstrate application to the high power density and environmentally benign cathode material LiFePO4. The results obtained,...

Li-ion batteries are widely used for electrochemical energy storage, because of their high energy density and efficiency. The most significant challenges in the development of advanced Li-ion batteries concern the electrode materials. Indeed, the electrodes properties critically determine the capacity, performance, and durability of alkali-ion batteries.
In the past five decades, Mössbauer...
