Advanced X-ray Imaging of Electrochemical Energy Materials and Devices (eBook)

This book comprehensively outlines synchrotron-based X-ray imaging technologies and their associated applications in gaining fundamental insights into the physical and chemical properties as well as reaction mechanisms of energy materials. In this book the major X-ray imaging technologies utilised, depending on research goals and sample specifications, are discussed. With X-ray imaging techniques, the morphology, phase, lattice and strain information of energy materials in both 2D and 3D can be obtained in an intuitive way. In addition, due to the high penetration of X-rays, operando/in situ experiments can be designed to track the qualitative and quantitative changes of the samples during operation. This book will broader the reader's view on X-ray imaging techniques and inspire new ideas and possibilities in energy materials research.

Jiajun Wang obtained his doctorate from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2008. He is currently a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), one of the Thousand Youth Talents in China. Prior to joining HIT, he was a synchrotron beamline scientist at the National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory and then Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory to develop in situ/in operando synchrotron X-ray imaging techniques for energy material research. He has published over 80 papers with over 8000 citations. His research activities include synchrotron X-ray technologies, phase transition, electrochemistry, engineering materials, nanoparticles and nanocomposites, energy storage and conversion materials.
