Deep into the world of cutting-edge battery research, the OPINCHARGE initiative is leading the charge towards a brighter energy future. Right at the heart of it, where innovative techniques in microscopy and chemical analysis are taking centre stage, there is  the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).. With its  Advanced Instrumentation for Nano-Analytics group at the forefront, it utilizes ion beams to uncover the secrets hidden within battery materials.

Fuelling Innovation with Advanced Tools

LIST’s key contribution to OPINCHARGE lies in developing and deploying advanced characterization tools. By harnessing ion beam technologies, their team aims to peel back the layers of battery materials, revealing their structural and chemical evolution like never before. From high-resolution chemical imaging using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry to machine learning-supported ion beam scanning, important efforts are set to propel battery research to new heights.

Building Bridges for Collaborative Success

At the heart of OPINCHARGE beats the rhythm of collaboration among Europe’s leading researchers. LIST recognizes the power of teamwork in driving innovation and sharing knowledge. By bringing together diverse talents and skills, they are able to gain a comprehensive understanding of research results. Through active collaboration and ongoing feedback, an environment where every partner’s expertise contributes to our shared goals is cultivated.
