Connect battery materials properties to performance through advanced characterization techniques Understanding electrochemical processes during battery cycling demands specialized analytical tools that go beyond static analysis. Battery Materials Characterization: Advanced Techniques and Applications, written by two searchers with combined publications exceeding 280 papers in energy materials and synchrotron radiation, covers a wide range of battery types and the in situ/operando characterization methods required to link materials properties with electrochemical performance. The book provides dedicated treatment of XAS, TXM, ND/PDF, RIXS, EPR, TOF-SIMS, DEMS, and Cs-TEM variants applied to battery systems. Each technique is examined through case studies addressing material degradation, interfacial reactions, dynamic structural evolution, and electronic state changes under operational conditions. Coverage extends to multimodal analysis approaches that combine multiple methods for multiscale, multidimensional characterization of battery materials. The book also covers: In situ and operando characterization methods enabling real-time tracking of material dynamics during battery cycling and operationIntegration of multi-mode characterizations combining spectroscopy, microscopy, and diffraction for multiscale analysis of electrode materialsActionable guidance and real-world case studies demonstrating practical application of each analytical technique to battery researchMachine learning and large-scale data analysis approaches applied to characterization data interpretation and materials discoveryEmerging ultrafast and high-resolution methods representing future directions in battery materials analysis and electrochemical research Written for materials scientists, electrochemists, spectroscopists, structural chemists, solid state chemists, and physical chemists, this reference connects advanced characterization techniques with practical battery research applications. It serves researchers and practitioners who require authoritative, technique-specific guidance across multiple battery chemistries and analytical methods.
