Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, provides unique benefits to design energy storage micro-devices. Its versatile geometry, new architectural design, and the potential to directly integrate power sources into 3D printed devices, cannot be easily achieved with the conventional manufacturing technology. The battery materials undergo a highly non-equilibrium process during the 3D printing, resulting in different mesoscale structures which critically determine the behaviors of the printed batteries. Using operando synchrotron coherent X-ray scattering techniques, including X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), we are studying the dynamics of mesoscale structural formation during 3D printing. The dynamics analysis was then coupled with the 3D morphological analysis done by X-ray fluorescence tomography with a nano-probe. Additionally, environmentally friendly systems such as 3D printable aqueous batteries were also invested. Both laboratory micro-tomography and synchrotron nano-tomography were combined to enable a multi-scale visualization of the morphological evolution in the printed structure. |
