TechTalk: Advancing energy storage with spectroelectrochemistry

Thursday, February 5 at 18:00 GMT | 19:00 CET | 13:00 EST | 10:00 PST

Developing next‑generation energy storage systems demands a deeper, more precise understanding of electrochemical behavior, including how to optimize electrode composition and ensure chemical homogeneity throughout the electrode structure. Combining electrochemistry with Infrared and Raman spectroscopy offers a powerful approach for achieving these goals. Pairing these techniques with microscopy further enables micrometer-scale insights into chemical composition and distribution.

This 20-minute TechTalk will explore how these capabilities come together with four key instruments that make this integrated approach possible: INVENIO, RAMANtouch, HYPERION II and VERTEX NEO R.

Join Dr. Sergey Shilov, Senior Application Scientist, Bruker Optics, as he shares his 40+ years of FTIR and Raman knowledge to inspire and accelerate your research in batteries, fuel cells, and advanced energy materials.

Key learning objectives:

Understand spectroelectrochemical tools and workflows for probing reactions at electrodes and within electrolytes.
Learn how to optimize instrument setup and integration, including effective communication between potentiostats and spectrometers.
Understand how to apply fast chemical imaging techniques to visualize electrode surfaces and reaction dynamics.
Explore real‑world electrochemical case studies such as metal–organic complex oxidation, polymer distribution mapping, electrode degradation analysis, and SEI characterization in lithium metal batteries.

Who should attend?

Chemists, battery engineers, and scientists who are developing new materials for energy storage.
