Our research group focuses on advancing the 3D local characterization of battery materials using X-ray nano computed tomography (nano-CT) techniques. We aim to understand the microstructural properties of battery electrodes at the nanoscale and how these properties influence overall battery performance. This integration (Zernike Phase Contrast, Holography, XANES spectroscopy) provides a comprehensive view of both the structural and compositional changes occurring within the battery during use. Our overarching goal is to enhance the understanding of battery material behavior through these cutting-edge 3D imaging techniques. By doing so, we contribute to the development of more efficient, durable, and higher-performing energy storage systems.

Our research group is dedicated to advancing the 4D-Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (4D-STEM) Automated Crystallographic Orientation Mapping (ACOM) technique for local structural characterization of battery materials. We have developed improved pattern matching methods in 4D-STEM ACOM by implementing adaptive sub-pixel peak detection and image reconstruction, enhancing the precision of crystallographic analyses. This approach allowed us to correlate structural and chemical information, providing comprehensive insights into battery material behaviors. Collectively, our work contributes to the development of more efficient and durable energy storage systems by enhancing the understanding of battery materials at the atomic level.
