INVESTIGATING SOLID-STATE BATTERIES

hATR Microscope Reveals Post-Cycling Changes of Advanced Electrolyte Materials

June 12, 2024

Researchers from the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia use the horizontal attenuated total reflection (hATR) microscope of the Mid-IR beamline to study solid-state batteries. They made use of our focal plane array (FPA) detector to track heterogeneities in the electrolyte surface during changing/discharging.
