| Abstract Scope |
The increasing demand for portable electronics, stationary storage, and electric vehicles is driving innovation in high-energy density batteries. Currently, the power densities of all-solid state batteries is limited because of ineffective ion transport and chemical and physical decomposition at solid|solid interfaces. In order to displace liquid electrolytes, new materials and engineering strategies need to be developed to negate these degradation pathways. New insight into the governing physics that occurs at these interfaces are critical for developing engineering strategies for the next generation of energy dense batteries]. However, buried solid|solid interfaces are notoriously difficult to observe with traditional bench-top and lab-scale experiments. In this talk I discuss opportunities for tracking phenomena and mechanisms in all solid state batteries in-situ using advanced synchrotron techniques. Synchrotron techniques that combine reciprocal and real space techniques are best equipped to track relevant phenomena with adequate spatial and temporal resolutions. |
