Did you know that the performance of next-gen polymer-based batteries hinges on the complex 3D structure of their electrodes? Our latest study dives deep into this relationship, using focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) to analyze and compare three different polymer-based electrode materials. Through advanced 3D imaging and simulations, we’ve developed analytical formulas to predict how electrode morphology impacts ion and electron transport—a groundbreaking first at the nanometer scale!
