Summary
The energy transition requires the development of high-performance, durable, and resource-efficient materials. Through its advanced methods for structural characterization, crystallography plays a key role in understanding and optimizing the physicochemical properties of energy materials. This symposium will present studies on the structural and microstructural analysis of materials used for energy production, conversion, and storage, with a wide range of applications including batteries, photovoltaic cells, and catalysts. The presentations will highlight the impact of crystal structure, defects, and interfaces on energy performance, using techniques such as X-ray and neutron diffraction and scattering, electron microscopy, and modeling.
