    Abstract:

    To ensure the general breakthrough of electrical vehicles in our modern society it is highly desirable to improve performance, safety and lifetime of current batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen storage systems. It is commonly thought that such improvements are found within the so-called all-solid-state energy devices. To accomplish a paradigm shift within this field a new generation of energy materials needs to be developed. Further, a better understanding of how surface and interface effects are potentially affecting intrinsic material properties is clearly needed. Muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) is a hidden gem among the available experimental techniques. Its extreme sensitivity to static and dynamic electronic as well as nuclear fields makes it ideal to study especially ion dynamics in solid energy materials. It is also one of the very few techniques that is able to acquire non-destructive depth profiling of ion diffusion across an interface. In this presentation I will briefly outline the working principle of this unique method and show its capabilities through our recent results from studies of batteries as well as hydrogen storage materials.
