Title: In situ/operando synchrotron-based X-ray techniques for lithium-ion battery research

Journal Article · · NPG Asia Materials

Here, lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology is the most attractive technology for energy storage systems in today's market. However, further improvements and optimizations are sill required to solve challenges such as energy density, cycle life and safety. Addressing these challenges in LIBs requires a fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms in various physical/chemical processes during LIB operation. Advanced in situ/operando synchrotron-based X-ray characterization techniques are powerful tools for providing valuable information about the complicated reaction mechanisms in LIBs.
