Stephan Roth opening the #SAXS #WAXS #GISAXS #workshop at the #DESY #usermeeting addressing current and potential users of small-angle #X-ray #scattering at PETRA III and PETRA IV showcasing great examples of the powerful advanced x-ray scattering methods

Thrilled to share Astrid Cantamessa’s latest work from @universitedeliege.bsky.social in Small Structures. ioviso contributed high-resolution SAXS/WAXS data, revealing the cement line is stiffer than adjacent bone—despite requiring more mineral.

Local crystallization inside the polymer electrolyte for lithium metal batteries observed by operando nanofocus WAXS - Nature Communications Polymer electrolytes are promising candidates as separators in lithium metal batteries. Here, authors reveal the existence of local lithium-based crystallites inside the polymer electrolyte in a lithium symmetric cell. A combination of unique operando wide-angle X-ray scattering with a nano-sized beam and complementary spectroscopic techniques identifies these crystallites as lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and even metallic lithium. It is shown that these crystallites lower the ionic conductivity and the transference number.
