Advancing energy storage with spectroelectrochemistry
Developing next‑generation energy storage systems demands a deeper, more precise understanding of electrochemical behavior, including how to optimize electrode composition and ensure chemical homogeneity throughout the electrode structure. Combining electrochemistry with Infrared and Raman spectroscopy offers a powerful approach for achieving these goals. Pairing these techniques with microscopy further enables micrometer-scale insights into chemical composition and distribution.
This 20-minute TechTalk will explore how these capabilities come together with four key instruments that make this integrated approach possible: INVENIO, RAMANtouch, HYPERION II and VERTEX NEO R.
Join Dr. Sergey Shilov, Senior Application Scientist, Bruker Optics, as he shares his 40+ years of FTIR and Raman knowledge to inspire and accelerate your research in batteries, fuel cells, and advanced energy materials.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand spectroelectrochemical tools and workflows for probing reactions at electrodes and within electrolytes.
- Learn how to optimize instrument setup and integration, including effective communication between potentiostats and spectrometers.
- Understand how to apply fast chemical imaging techniques to visualize electrode surfaces and reaction dynamics.
- Explore real‑world electrochemical case studies such as metal–organic complex oxidation, polymer distribution mapping, electrode degradation analysis, and SEI characterization in lithium metal batteries.
Who should attend?
- Chemists, battery engineers, and scientists who are developing new materials for energy storage.
