Abstract

The performance of transition metal oxides in electrochemical energy-storage devices is intimately linked to their atomic structure and how it changes during operation. Neutron diffraction is an advantageous technique to investigate long- and short-range atomic ordering within those materials, in particular while the material is in a functioning device under non-ambient conditions. In this chapter, an overview of the instrumentation and methods required to perform in situ or in operando neutron diffraction is provided, and a few relevant outcomes using those methods for the determination of the atomic structure of transition metal oxides in solid-oxide fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries are discussed. © 2022 WILEY-VCH GmbH, Boschstr. 12, 69469 Weinheim, Germany.
