Dynamic surfaces and interfaces in batteries
Understanding the dynamic properties of surfaces and interfaces is foundational to many scientific disciplines. In electrochemistry, charge transfer occurs at the solid–liquid interface between electrode and electrolyte. For almost all systems and under most conditions, these interfaces are dynamic and evolve with time. This is particularly...

Fluid interfaces with adsorbed substances are present in many systems in nature and industrial processes. Such interfaces often have a complex structural configuration which confers them the capability to withstand deformations. Consequently, they have been the object of study in recent decades both from a structural and rheological point of view. To date, there have been limited examples of...

Transport phenomena at interfaces include amongst others the transport of heat or charges, which are of eminent importance in electronic or energy harvesting devices [1]. By using pulsed x-ray scattering with 80 ps time resolution following laser excitation of thin films [2] we were able to resolve the caloric balance in layered structures of gold and a skutterudite, CoSb$_3$. From the...

The modification of epitaxial layers through hydrogenation is a thriving field of research that offers diverse opportunities to tune the physical properties of different systems. Recent research has been extended to correlated oxide interfaces, where hydrogen induced, reversible metal-to-insulator transitions have been uncovered in material systems such as rare-earth nickelates [1-2]. The...

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are key components for processing radio frequency signals in wireless communication, known for their high performance, compact size and low cost. A quantitative understanding of energy conversion and loss mechanisms is essential to improving device structures and materials. Using the 100 ps bunch length of The European Synchrotron ESRF, our stroboscopic...
