Researchers from the University of Warwick used advanced X-ray spectroscopy on Diamond’s B07 and I09 beamlines to help answer a key question in battery research: where does charge come from? With growing interest in increasing the energy storage of current and next-generation battery cathodes to power future electric vehicles and aircraft, the paper’s findings arrived at a timely moment.
