Join Us for the Second Battery2030+ Webinar: Unveiling Battery Interfaces Through X-ray Techniques
Join us online on 20 November 2025 at 15:00 CET for the next session of our webinar series exploring how cutting-edge operando techniques allow researchers to look inside batteries — and understand the complex transformations that define their performance and lifetime.
Our project, together with OPERA and ULTRABAT, is introducing this initiative under the framework of Battery2030+. The series, titled “Time and Length-Scale Operando Bridging Techniques to Study Battery Interfaces,” is designed to familiarise scientists with experimental methods that make it possible to study interfacial processes in real time.
Understanding Battery Interfaces Across Scales
Battery interfaces are where essential electrochemical reactions occur—and where the keys to efficiency, durability, and safety lie. Yet observing these regions as batteries operate is one of the most challenging tasks in materials science.
Yet, observing these regions as batteries operate remains one of the greatest challenges in materials science.
Operando characterisation techniques help bridge this gap by revealing how structural and chemical changes evolve during operation, connecting insights from atomic surfaces to complex 3D interfaces.
Each webinar combines two complementary parts:
1️⃣ A short tutorial introducing one or more experimental techniques, followed by a brief break.
2️⃣ A research talk demonstrating how these techniques are applied in current studies.
This format supports both knowledge transfer and lively discussion among researchers from different disciplines.
Second Webinar: Surface-Sensitive and Coherent X-ray Methods
The upcoming session will feature Hans-Georg Steinrück from Forschungszentrum Jülich (Germany), who will present:
“Surface-Sensitive and Coherent X-ray Methods to Study Battery Materials.”
His talk will highlight how advanced X-ray methods provide a window into the structural and chemical evolution of battery materials — from atomic surfaces to mesoscale interfaces — offering valuable insight into the mechanisms that influence performance and lifetime.
Building Collaboration Through Knowledge
This webinar series represents a joint effort by OPINCHARGE, OPERA, and ULTRABAT to bring together Europe’s battery research community around advanced characterisation methods, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate innovation in interface science
