Descriptif des activités de recherche
The current research is aimed to observe the evolution of the insertion/de-insertion zones of Li+ and Na+ ions in individual positive electrode crystals and to correlate them with structural in-homogeneities, orientations and crystalline facets. The man device which will be used is TECNAI G2 transmission electron microscope coupled with ASTAR (NanoMegas) system allowing to provide crystalline orientation and phase mapping with nanometric resolution. The obtained operando observations will permit to get the better insight into phase separation mechanisms and their dynamics within crystals, for which many questions remain unresolved, in particular for Na-ion materials (NVPF), which did not intensively investigate so far. The research project will be in collaboration with scientists who are specialists in battery materials, operando electrochemical TEM and ASTAR system.Parcours
