Electrochemistry in the Wild

Abstract

Having learned how diffraction and both in situ and operando experiments work, in this chapter we turn to looking at how these methods have been applied to better understand a range of different materials for lithium-ion, lithiumȓsulfur, lithium–air, and sodium-ion battery applications. In each case, we touch on key emergent candidate materials for next-generation devices with the aim to inform—and to inspire the reader to think about how the approaches used may well be of use in their own work.
