Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3)

The development of materials for energy conversion and storage is one of the most important challenges for solving the energy problem. Neutrons are a unique probe to characterise the structure, kinetics and dynamics of materials over many length and time scales. At JCNS-3, various neutron and complementary X-ray methods are used and developed to study complex energy systems in-situ and operando.

Director: Prof. Dr. Mirijam Zobel
