New analytical methodology can guide electrode optimization

Using a new analytical methodology -- a coupled micro-computed X-ray tomography and microfluidic-based electrochemical analysis -- researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are gaining new insights into electrode structure-performance relationships for energy conversion and storage devices. This will benefit the development of new materials and improved processing methodologies for catalyst layer deposition and electrode preparation.
