A broad range of techniques (such as XRD, AFM, XRM etc.) can be used to shed light on the working of energy storage materials, among which FT-IR enables time-resolved in-situ monitoring of (electro)chemical processes, e.g. in a lab-level battery model system. The combination of FT-IR spectroscopy with electrochemistry offers insight in the material activity and reaction process on a molecular level in addition to the electrochemical response of the system.
