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.Read the paper!Dong, S.; Xie, G.; Xu, S.; Tan, X.; Chaudhary, M.; Zhang, Y.; Wu, R.; Wen, F.; Ayranci, C.; Michaelis, V.K.; Quirk, A.; Rosendahl, S.M.; Liu, J.; Fleischauer, M.D.; Sang, L.
