    Materials displaying fascinating evolution mechanisms and structure-property relationships

Batteries power small electronics, cars, and even the electricity grid, enabling our transition towards renewable energy sources.
Structural Evolution plays a crucial role in determining the lifetime of electrodes. Understanding how structures evolve at nanoscales paves the way toward stable electrodes for high-performance batteries, electrolyzers, and sensors alike. 

    In-situ characterization of high-capacity electrodes to tackle stability issues.
