We are pleased to announce the next webinar in the series titled “Time and Length-Scale Operando Bridging Techniques to Study Battery Interfaces”, running from autumn 2025 to spring 2026.
Topic
“Applications of Non-linear Spectroscopy in Battery Science”
Abstract
“Lattice vibrations are widely implicated in solid-state ion transport, yet a microscopic understanding of their role remains elusive. In this talk, I will focus on what information can be gleaned from nonlinear THz/IR, Raman, and X-ray spectroscopies about ion–lattice dynamics, as well as the practical challenges associated with applying these techniques to solid-state ionic conductors. I will illustrate these ideas through their application to Li-ion dynamics in the solid electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO), comparing tetragonal and doped-cubic phases. Together, this approach outlines how combining nonlinear spectroscopy (and simulations) may enable the construction of a microscopic picture of ion transport in solid-state batteries.”

The purpose of the webinar series is to familiarize the audience to major operando characterization techniques that are complementary to understand the intermingled processes occurring at battery interfaces.
This series is organized by 3 consortia – UltraBat, OPERA and OPINCHARGE – from Battery2030+.
Each webinar will consist of two parts:
– 1) a first tutorial of 25-30min focused on one or several techniques, followed by a 5min break,
– 2) a 20-25min talk focused on scientific research using these techniques, followed by 5-10min of questions.
