Opis

This book is your graduate level entrance into battery, fuel cell and solar cell research at synchrotron x-ray sources. Materials scientists find numerous examples for the combination of electrochemical experiments with simple and with highly complex x-ray scattering and spectroscopy methods. Physicists and chemists can link applied electrochemistry with fundamental concepts of condensed matter physics, physical chemistry and surface science. Contents: Introduction Molecular Structure and Electronic Structure Crystal Structure and Microstructure Real Space Imaging and Tomography Resonant Methods and Chemical Contrast Variation Surface Sensitive and Volume Sensitive Methods Organic and Bio-Organic Samples Complex Case Studies / Electrochemical In Situ Studies Correlation of Electronic Structure And Conductivity Radiation Damages Background Subtraction X-Ray Physics Nobel Prizes Synchrotron Centers World Electromagnetic Spectrum Kα,Β X-Ray Energies Periodic Table of Elements

Recenzje

From Reviews of the First Edition:

"After finishing the book, a first conclusion I get, is that it has given me access to a vast amount of information [..] providing insight in a large variety of energy-related materials with many different experimental techniques. The richness in possibilities is therefore huge."
Crystallography Reviews (2017)

"This is a good book that is indispensable for students and researchers [...]"
Journal of Synchrotron Radiation 25 (2018), 1609-1610
