Description
Understanding the microscopic dynamics of various constituents in energy materials is crucial for exploring the fundamental mechanisms of energy storage and plays a significant role in their applications within energy storage and conversion technologies. By acquiring molecular-level structural and dynamic information about electrodes and electrolytes, we can create new materials with enhanced properties that lead to better performance in device applications. In this study, we present dynamic investigations of diƯerent energy materials, including 2D-layered transition metal carbides, as well as solid-state lithium and polymer electrolytes. We will discuss the stochastic dynamics—originating from both diƯusive and relaxational processes—in the picosecond to nanosecond time range, as revealed by quasielastic neutron scattering and simulations.
