KAIST Identifies Cause of Artifacts in Battery Nanoscale Analysis, Paving the Way for More Reliable Measurements

A signal that appears to show ions moving inside a battery may, in fact, be an illusion caused by an uneven surface. A KAIST research team has identified the origin of this type of artifacts, which can lead researchers to misinterpret what is happening inside a battery, and has developed a method to reduce it. The findings are expected to enable more accurate analysis of ion movement and improve the reliability of next-generation battery-material development, including that of solid-state and so Newswise — A signal that appears to show ions moving inside a battery may, in fact, be an illusion caused by an uneven surface.
