WISE Guest Professor Lecture
When: December 4, 2025 | 15:00–16:00
We are pleased to welcome Professor Julie Beth Zimmerman, WISE Guest Professor at Uppsala University and Dr. Sandrine Lyonnard, WISE Guest Professor at Uppsala University.
- Dr. Sandrine Lyonnard will give a lecture on “Operando battery characterization at the synchrotron : pushing the frontiers of spatiotemporal analysis.”
Abstract: Synchrotron techniques have great advantages due to the high penetration power of hard x-rays, ultimate space and time resolutions available, and chemical sensitivity, enabling to perform fast spatially-resolevd parameter mappings and obtain the finest details of chemical structures in complex environements. These characteristics make them particularly suited to probe materials transformations during the charging/discharging process of a battery. Combining several techniques within multimodal workflows is even more powerful, as we can image reaction and degradation mechanisms directly inside the devices and gain a holistic understanding of the various processes. I will illustrate this on recent examples based on tomographic techniques applied to Li- and Na-ion systems. - Professor Julie Beth Zimmerman, WISE Guest Professor at Uppsala University: To be advised as soon as possible.
