WMG 2 of 2 PhD positions alerts WMG ! - ⚡ 🔋 Unlocking their potential: Modelling Accelerated Degradation in Ni-rich Li-ion Batteries: warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/hetsys…… with . Florian Theil and Louis Piper

Internal stresses are insufficient to generate cracking if "single crystals" are sufficiently small.... E.g. FIB-SEM-CT of single crystal NMC 811 after 100 cycles 4.4-2.5V vs graphite (10 um scale bar) at C/3. Details at: doi.org/10.1103/PRXEne… FI_FutureCat FI-Degradation

Does trapped O2 contribute to Ni-rich cathodes? Using SC-NMC 811//graphite pouch cells we found significant RIXS intensity but no pores even after aging FI_FutureCat: FI-Degradation Metal–Ligand Redox in Layered Oxide Cathodes for Li-ion Batteries | go.shr.lc/3wZ7nRt

Real-time in situ x-ray observations of new nickel-rich lithium-ion batteries by Louis F J Piper WMG reveal that reduced performance comes from lithium ions getting trapped in the cathode. 🌏 #EarthWeek Story by Rachel Berkowitz. physics.aps.org/articles/v17/70

Excellent piece by Rachel Berkowitz and Physics Magazine on our latest research published in PRX Energy - love the artwork too! Interested in learning more about our operando developments - check out chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… too....

The Li-ion battery made “possible a fossil fuel-free society”, the Nobel chemistry committee said. I am looking forward to participating in this event newscientist.com/tech2024 , #NSTechSummit with New Scientist to highlight innovation with Faraday Institution and WMG

@PiperXRay highlight on battery innovation at the #NSTechSummit🔋 The summit is designed to showcase the critical intersection of science, technology, and business. ⚡ 📅 15 May 2024 📍155 Bishopgate London 🔗Register here newscientist.com/tech2024

In a recent study, Ashok Menon, Louis F J Piper, and colleagues used in situ x-ray observations of new nickel-rich, lithium-ion batteries to determine that reduced performance comes from lithium ions getting trapped in the cathode. Read the paper: go.aps.org/3WmAlW7
