In Situ TEM Studies on Na-Ion Storage in Hard Carbon


EMSL Project ID
48840

Abstract

We would like to petition to use the EMSL’s advanced in-situ experimental systems to study charge and mass transport phenomena, as well as solvent-interface interaction in amorphous carbon used as Na-ion battery (NIB) anodes. This proposed research would be the first of its kind, and its results help to get an unprecedented knowledge of the dynamic structure-property relationships of amorphous carbon anodes in NIBs. If successful, these in-situ experiments are expected to yield landmark results for the NIB community, currently one of the fastest growing research fields, and will shape the its future research direction for years to come.
