Development of a sample environment for magnetic measurements at CoSAXS
Provmiljön.
The project utilises the enormous potential of the new ESS and MAX IV research facilities in Lund to study the battery materials of the future.

Projektbeskrivning
In this project we exploit the enormous potential available in the large scale facilities in Lund ESS and MAX IV to study future battery materials. In close collaboration with research groups in Germany, e.g., Universität zu Köln and Forschungszentrum Jülich, we will take advantage of the possibilities at the facilities to study nanoparticle-based battery materials at several length scales simultaneously. This is made possible thanks to the new instruments DREAM at ESS and CoSAXS at MAX IV,
Using iron-based components we will develop methods to study changes in the battery chemistry and magnetism at the nanometre level following their X-ray or neutron diffraction behaviour at small and wide angles. Also, within this project we will develop tailored experimental battery cells that will allow us charging and discharging batteries while irradiating them and under applied magnetic fields (in-operando studies).
