Oral

Many processes in energy materials do not only depend on the microscopic arrangement of atoms on the atomic scale, but are controlled by the gross characteristics and morphology of matter on the nano and microscale. Small-angle X-ray/neutron scattering (SAXS/SANS) allows to access these features giving insights into the size, shape, and arrangement of objects of few nanometers to several...

4. Operando characterizations of batteries : from particles to devices

Sandrine Lyonnard (CEA-IRIG)

Oral

Understanding key reaction and degradation mechanisms in batteries require to combine different characterization tools and obtain structural, chemical, morphologicak insights into the materials transformations, from the scale of individual active particles to the scale of a working commercial battery device. Neutrons and X-rays are particularly suited for this purpose. We will show some recent...

2. Hydrogen storage: Finite size and proximity effects

Maximilian Wolff

Oral

Hydrogen will play a major role as energy carrier in the transition towards a sustainable and carbon dioxide emission free society. I will discuss the opportunities and challenges to store hydrogen. Emphasis will be on proximity and finite size effects, which allow to tune the absorption properties, specifically, the charging kinetics, gravimetric and volumetric capacity as well as efficiency...

1. Neutron and x-ray reflectometry for the study of thin films and interfaces

Maximilian Wolff

Neutron and x-ray reflectometry are complementary methods that allow the study of thin films and interfaces. I will discuss the basic principles of reflectometry experiments and data analysis. From specular reflectivity density profiles long the normal of interfaces can be extracted, while off-specular and grazing incidence scattering provides information about in-plane correlations. Examples...
