Electrochemistry plays a central role in the storage or conversion of renewable energies. As such, it is at work in a variety of emerging sustainable technologies and devices, significantly impacting society. Optimizing the performance of these devices requires a deep understanding of electrochemical reaction mechanisms at the ultimate scales, as they are closely related to the microstructure of materials. Therefore, it is crucial to provide multiple and complementary structural characterizations, with high spectro-temporal resolution, of these electroactive materials, and ideally in operation (operando).
The recent developments of operando imaging techniques reflects this increased interest.These innovative techniques for observing materials, in situ and during their electrochemical operation, improve our ability to understand their dynamic structural modifications, and to establish correlations between performance and microscopic structure. Among these, operando optical microscopy stands out for several major advantages: extreme sensitivity, high spatial and temporal resolution, high throughput analyses, low invasiveness, and easy implementation.
This conference aims at presenting major advances in the use of operando optical imaging techniques, in order to develop an advanced understanding of microscopic electrochemical reactions related to the storage and conversion of energy.It will highlight the principles and latest innovations from our group, both in terms of instruments and analytical approaches, encompassing experimental, theoretical studies and data analysis.
These advances transform optical microscopy into an essential tool for the discovery and development of new, high-performance materials and devices.
