In-situ neutron powder diffraction studies of the structural changes on cycling a Na-ion battery over the 1st, 10th and 100th cycle

Abstract: Faradion Ltd. is the world leader in non-aqueous Na-ion technology; a more sustainable, cost-effective and safer energy storage solution than commercially-used Li-ion batteries. Previously considered to be substantially inferior in performance to Li-ion batteries, Na-ion batteries have now reached higher energy densities than commercial lithium iron phosphate batteries at operating temperatures between -20C and +60C, However, the cycle life requires improvement in order to meet commercial standards. We request 3 days on POLARIS to study the structural phase changes which occur on cycling a Na-ion cathode material and compare this to electrochemical data to propose and test novel ideas of improving cycle life in order to meet commercial standards.
