This session will explore advanced multi-scale characterisation techniques applied to battery materials and electrochemical interfaces. Contributions will span from nanoscale imaging and advanced spectroscopy to in-situ and operando diagnostics, providing insights into structure, chemistry, transport phenomena, and degradation processes across different length scales. By integrating complementary experimental approaches, the session aims to demonstrate how multi-scale characterisation supports the development of next-generation energy storage technologies, bridging fundamental understanding and industrial applications.
The session is organised in the context of the European project HyMetBat (Hybrid Metrology for Sustainable and Low-Carbon Footprint Battery Materials), aiming to develop a new hybrid metrology platform bringing together a combination of traceable analytical techniques for both ex situ and operando characterisation of battery materials, to enable innovation in next generation energy storage technologies.
