Workshop: Battery Innovation through advanced structural, chemical and mechanical characterisation
(Nanowerk News) This interactive workshop on April 25, 2018 from 10:00 - 16:00 at the Coventry Transport Museum in the UK highlights how different characterisation techniques combine to address the development, performance and degradation challenges for lithium-ion and solid-state batteries.
|
|
Discover how characterisation techniques accelerate battery development
Explore how correlative methods can predict lifetime and degradation
Network with academics and industrialists at the cutting edge of battery innovation
|
Presentations on key topics identified by our battery customers
|
|
Understanding the effects of Secondary Electrode Interphases (SEI)
Quantifying kinetically and thermodynamically driven electrochemical processes
Correlating crystalline structure and mechanical properties to capacity and failure
Relating anode and cathode nanoscale materials properties to battery energy density
|
Characterisation techniques for battery R&D and failure analysis
|
 |
|
Battery applications of selected characterisation methods being discussed include:
|
| Atomic Force Microscopy – correlative nanoscale electrical, electrochemical, and morphological properties of cathodes, quantifying SEI growth and capacity loss from cracking
|
|
NMR Spectroscopy – atomic level insights in kinetic and thermodynamic process during electrochemical cell cycling
|
|
FTIR Spectroscopy – characterises mechanistic pathways at the cathode (ATR with EC cell)
|
|
X-ray Diffraction – understanding lithium ion migration processes and state of battery charge
|
|
Micro-CT – tomographic studies of cathode porosity and ageing phenomena
|
|
Nanomechanical testing – electrode creep/stress, phase separation and delamination of separators
