The topic will be “How nanoconfinement shapes electrochemical interfaces: insights from operando characterization” and the speaker is Simon Fleischmann from Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU).
Abstract
“Nanoconfinement at electrochemical interfaces can strongly influence ion solvation and charge-transfer processes in battery electrodes, but these effects are often difficult to capture with conventional characterization. In this talk, I will present recent work showing how operando techniques such as X-ray diffraction, electrochemical dilatometry, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements, and impedance spectroscopy can be used to directly follow co-intercalation, desolvation, and interfacial resistance evolution during cycling. Focusing on layered and nanostructured electrode materials, I will illustrate how confinement-driven solvation effects shape reaction kinetics and interfacial stability. The aim of the seminar is to give the audience a mechanistic view of how advanced electrochemical characterization can be combined to better understand charge storage at confined interfaces.”
