With the growing need for sustainable energy technologies, improving the efficiency and lifetime of batteries become more and more important. It requires a better understanding of how the battery materials within the electrodes transform individually and how they interact within their own complex ecosystem and with their surrounding environment. Synchrotron X-ray techniques have demonstrated unique advantages with excellent resolution and sensitivity to structural, chemical, and morphological characteristics of the energy materials, as well as bring enormous challenges in task-specific data reduction, analysis, and interpretation. In this talk, I will present our recent efforts to accelerate the understanding of battery degradation mechanisms through jointly developing advanced multi-scale synchrotron imaging techniques and their associated data-driven approaches.
