NMR reveals unexpected defects in lithium-ion battery electrodes
If our batteries do not behave the way we expect, we have a problem. Such unpredictability can arise from many sources, including difficult-to-detect nanoscale defects in the materials of the batteries. In the August 11 issue of Chemistry of Materials (DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.5b01234; p. 5212), Michaël Deschamps of the University of Orléans and the National Centre for Scientific Research, along with a team of researchers from France, detail their work to locate and characterize these defect structures in the electrodes of lithium ion batteries.
