Operando XES studies of Prussian Blue Analogue Battery Materials

X射线发射光谱(XES)提供了位置选择性表征，这将被应用于普鲁士蓝模拟材料的研究，这些材料在充电电池应用中用作离子存储(锂、钠、钾和锌)阴极。学生将准备一个材料库，使用紫外可见光谱、X射线衍射仪、扫描电子显微镜、EXAFS和XES对其进行表征。更有希望的材料随后将在操纵性条件下进行研究，以提供对此类电池材料中结构性质关系的见解。

X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) provides site selective characterisation and this will be applied to the study of Prussian blue analogue materials, which have applications as ion storage (lithium, sodium, potassium, and zinc) cathodes in rechargeable battery applications. The student will prepare a library of materials, characterise them using UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EXAFS, and XES. The more promising materials will then be studied under operando conditions to provide insights in to structure property relationships in such battery materials.
