Project Goals
Develop test setup (sample environment) for in-situ/operando NAP-XPS measurements to characterize interfaces and degradation phenomena on battery materials. Especially characterization during charging and discharging cycles with simultaneous electrochemical characterization. In-situ characterization of electrode degradation and comparison to simulation data.
