Electrochemically Based and Coupled Characterization of Heterogeniety within Battery Electrodes and Interfaces

Batteries are ubiquitous in our everyday lives and often appear as black boxes. However, the chemistry inherent to their function is diverse and complicated. Examples of mechanistic insight gained from electrochemistry-based and electrochemistry-coupled characterization of battery electrodes and interfaces will be highlighted in this presentation. This will include approaches to distinguish productive and parasitic regions in functional energy storage materials and systems.
