Zinc-based batteries have been a recurring theme throughout history, from Volta's pile, the Daniell and Leclanché elements to powering modern space vehicles. To date, no rechargeable all solid-state Zn-ion battery has been commercialized. Therefore, we intended to contribute to increasing the number of available Zn-ion conductors for such batteries. We used a stepwise algorithm (Voronoi...
In the current contribution an overview and application of non-destructive of selected diffraction-based tools for spatially-resolved studies of closed electrochemical systems (on example of cylinder-type Li-ion batteries) is reported. Experimental methods will cover various-type of spatially-resolved diffraction and diffraction based tomography appliying neutron scattering and high-energy...
The local structure and Temperature-dependent crystallisation behaviour of oxygen doped Li thiophosphates, synthesised with two different sets of starting materials were investigated and compared, using mainly powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis.
Subsequently, impedance measurements were carried out to derive links between local structure and ionic...
Single-crystalline elastic constants in titanium alloys Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Zr-4Mo and Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo have been determined using neutron and synchrotron diffraction on polycrystalline bulk samples under mechanical load. An approach to account for load partitioning between the phases has been applied in the analysis. By this means not only the apparent elastic constants of each phase...
