Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3)

This department is in its founding phase. It will make the unique possibilities of neutron scattering and neutron analytics accessible to the research and improvement of materials, processes and systems of energy technology. This concerns in particular operando studies of real systems for energy conversion and energy storage (fuel cells, batteries, etc.) and the determination of position and movement of light elements (hydrogen, lithium, sodium, and so on), which are so significant for the energy revolution. Thus, JCNS-3 is able to bridge the gap between method-oriented research and applied research as done for example in the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK) and the relevant institutes at RWTH Aachen University.

JCNS Outstations
