High resolution nanoscale analysis of energy materials
EMSL Project ID
50703
Abstract
The proposed project aims to study the relation between nanoscale material structure and bulk performance metrics for a variety of energy materials ranging from generation, conversion to storage. Critical questions pertaining to catalysis, batteries and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFCs) will be explored and understood through this project. The overarching aim pertains to identifying and understanding how the nanoscale structure, coatings and stoichiometric variations lead to differences in performance and lifetime of the devices by analysis of the spatial and chemical distribution. The nanoscale porous morphology of current catalytic devices and SOFCs warrant the need for a high-resolution study to understand the evolution of the reaction surface as a function of temperature, oxidation and reduction reaction and its influence on the electrochemical performance and stability.
