In the OPINCHARGE Scientific Publications series, we highlight research that advances our understanding of materials, interfaces and processes relevant to next-generation energy technologies. This publication looks inside operating lithium-ion batteries to investigate a process that can significantly affect their lifetime: chemical crosstalk between electrodes.

In the OPINCHARGE Scientific Publications series, we highlight research that advances our understanding of materials, interfaces and processes relevant to next-generation energy technologies. This publication explores Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) and how it is transforming the way researchers study catalytic reactions.

In the OPINCHARGE Scientific Publications series, we highlight research that advances the understanding of battery materials, degradation processes and next-generation energy storage technologies. This study focuses on one of the key challenges facing solid-state batteries — the formation and accumulation of lithium within solid electrolytes.

The fifth webinar in the series “Time and Length-Scale Operando Bridging Techniques to Study Battery Interfaces” took place on 26 March 2026. The session brought together researchers interested in combining experimental techniques with computational modelling to better understand battery materials.

Join us online on 26 March 2026 at 15:00 CET for the next session of the Battery2030+ webinar series, exploring how computational modelling can help interpret experimental data and uncover hidden mechanisms in battery materials.
