In order to improve the performance of future energy devices, nano-structured materials is one of the most promising routes. LiFePO4 is a commercial battery cathode material... -
Kinetics of lithium ions in high capacity anode for energy storage
The research on energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is vital for electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices and grid-scale energy storage. According to... -
Investigation of Magnetic Fields in ZnGeP2:Mn
We propose an investigation of the magnitude and fluctuations of internal magnetic fields in Mn-doped ZnGeP2. This chalcopyrite structured semiconductor has a ferromagnetic (FM)... -
Muon states and diffusion in alkali halides
The diamagnetic states formed by muon implantation in alkali halides are to be characterised, and their diffusion studied, by means of RF final-state analysis. The 90° pulse... -
Magnetic order in Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys: a muon study
Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (MMSMAS) undergo a martensitic transformation which is accompanied with a large drop in magnetization on cooling, making the low temperature... -
Study of NH4+ mobility in ammonia borane, ammonium borohydride and methyl amm...
We request 5 days on EMU to study the NH4+ ion mobility in the light borohydride materials NH3BH3, NH4BH4 and CH3NH3BH4. As has been proposed by Stowe et al., during the... -
Observation of hydrogen dynamics in hydrogen storage materials by in situ muS...
This proposal describes an in situ muSR experiment on a hydrogen storage material, MgH2. This is because MgH2 attracts a special attention due to the fact that the hydrogen... -
Muons for Energy Nanonics
LiFePO4 (LFP) is a commercially applied cathode material for lithium ion batteries. With its Li ion hopping predominantly occurring along one-dimensional channels, LFP is a very... -
Layered Honeycomb Frameworks for Potassium-ion Battery Applications
Lithium (Li) ion batteries is the most common battery technology but lately also potassium (K) batteries are being considered. One reason is that the Li-reserves are limited and... -
Li-diffusion in anode material Li intercalated graphite for Li-ion battery
We would like to propose a muSR experiment on Li intercalated graphite, which is most commonly used for an anode material of Li-ion battery. With charging (discharging)... -
