In-situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction
Our group has developed and successfully used an in-situ measurement setup for the study hydrothermal formation of nanoparticles under sub- and supercritical conditions. The presentation introduces details of the experimental setup as well as explaining each step of the data analysis. As an example of one of our experiment some preliminary results of a temperature and concentration study for hydrothermal synthesis of spinel type LiMn2O4, which is a well-known cathode material for Lithium ion batteries, will be presented.
Steinar Birgisson
Steinar Birgisson received his bachelor degree in Chemistry from The University of Iceland in 2011. After that he worked for a year as a research scientist at Carbon Recycling International, a small innovation company in Iceland. There he participated in the commissioning of the first methanol plant in the world that produces methanol from CO2 emission in a renewable way.
In 2012, he came to Aarhus University and is currently working in Prof. Bo B. Iversen's group as a PhD student. His PhD project concerns synthesis and characterization of nano-sized battery materials with emphasis on in-situ measurements on hydrothermal reactions.
