Abstract

X-Ray Vision: Bringing Future Materials Into Focus

Our need for clean energy drives widespread materials research, from energy storage in lithium-ion batteries to efficient catalytic conversions of chemical fuels to the capture of CO2 from the air around us. Breakthroughs can be driven by discoveries of new materials or advances in the tools that we use to understand how these materials form, function, and fail. Our research uses advanced characterization tools to probe the structure of energy materials in situ, as they function or react. This allows us to identify how their functional behaviors are governed by their structure and chemistry. These fundamental insights serve as a road map towards next-generation clean energy solutions.
