Ion migration pathways in electrode materials
A short introduction to battery research seen from a crystallographers’ point of view. A large part of my PhD has involved participation in the invention and testing of a novel visualization technique: The Procrystal Analysis. Application to a wide range of electrode materials for Li-ion battery applications prove the methods’ validity in describing the migration of ions in dense crystal lattices, in spite of the simple calculation principle. The analysis can be utilized for fast examination of Li-ion migration in new candidates for improved electrode materials as an initial test of the ion conduction properties.

Mette Østergaard Filsø received her bachelor degree in inorganic chemistry and crystallography from Aarhus University in 2010. She is currently employed on a five-year scholarship from which she received her master’s degree in 2013. She spent the year 2014 on maternity leave and is planning to finish her PhD in the summer of 2016.
In 2011 she stayed 7 months in Prof. Mark A. Spackman’s group at the University of Western Australia. Through this collaboration, she studied the visualization of ion migration through crystal structures of promising electrode materials for Li-ion battery application.
