Journal of Materials Research publishes review article on in-situ TEM of battery materials

2015_JMRbanner-LOWres

The February 14 issue of Journal of Materials Research  has a special focus on In-situ and Operando Characterization of Materials and features an invited review of in-situ TEM and spectroscopy of rechargeable batteries under dynamic conditions titled “In situ transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy studies of rechargeable batteries under dynamic operating conditions: A retrospective and perspective view”.  It describes the progress in in-situ (liquid) electrochemistry research for battery applications from the early 2000’s to now and shows the important role Hummingbird Scientific’s in-situ TEM holders have played in this.  The content of this review and other papers is now freely available for download.
