Summary:
Aqueous batteries are of keen interest due to their safety, low cost and large scale design possibilities. Notably, understanding the factors that determine maximum capacity, power, or cycle life are of keen importance as these systems transition to commercial reality. This presentation will provide insights into the electrochemical mechanisms revealed through the use of in-situ and operando tools. The complexity of the discharge and charge processes demand multiple modes of characterization to fully rationalize the behavior.
