Call for Papers

Please contact the symposium organizers with questions.

The recent advances in improving energy storage materials can be partially attributed to the mechanistic understanding of spatial and temporal phenomena at relevant lengths and time scales. Electrochemical storage systems comprise multiple components and are intrinsically out-of-equilibrium, necessitating an indepth understanding of the reactions within and between individual parts under operating conditions. In the past decade, progress in operando characterization led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of mechanical and electrochemical processes during intercalation and charge transport. Nevertheless, the complexity of the multi-component electrochemical storage systems requires further developments, particularly a concerted effort in multimodal characterization.

This symposium will highlight the most recent developments in the operando characterization of electrochemical systems, including x-ray characterization, electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and electron paramagnetic resonance. The symposium will cover various scientific topics, including intercalation, ionic diffusion, reduction-oxidation reactions, and structural rearrangements in materials for lithium-ion energy storage and beyond. The symposium aims to provide a discussion platform and to facilitate a combination of multiple operando techniques for the future multimodal characterization of electrochemical systems.

Topics will include:

• Operando x-ray diffraction (XRD)
• Operando X-ray imaging
• Operando X-ray spectroscopy
• Operando Nuclear Magnetic Resonant Spectroscopy (NMR)
• In situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
• Operando Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR)
