Lijin An and @Rob_erando @OxfordMaterials led an exciting study using @esrfsynchrotron x-ray Raman to track the state of nickel #battery 🔋 cathode particles as they charge (and I made a small modelling contribution). Why does this matter? A short 🧵 https://t.co/bzynj2xyFa

Great to see our first work from the @FiDegradation project published! Beautiful simulations from @FiatesJuliane and experiments from Soochan, Pravin, Rob and Michael on anode-free batteries 😍

@CabanaChemistry @seidlerLab @PiperXray @FaradayInst We’ve recently looked at this with LiNiO2:

Interestingly, the XRS shows only reversible Ni oxidation in the bulk, while FY (and IPFY) shows Ni reduction and oxygen dimer formation in the outer 200nm nearest to the electrolyte.

Great to see Aryan explaining his masters research in the group on NMC811 cracking. Congratulations on your graduation!

[Mansfield College, University of Oxford @MansfieldOxford]

On our Degree Days last week, we asked parents, grandparents, and friends if they could explain the graduate’s research topic. 🎓📚😄 @UniofOxford
