X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) is a well-known non-destructive imaging technique where contrast originates from the materials absorption coefficients. Novel battery characterization studies on increasingly challenging samples have been enabled by the rapid development of both synchrotron and laboratory-scale imaging systems as well as innovative analysis techniques. Furthermore, the recent development of laboratory nano-scale CT (NanoCT) systems has pushed the limits of battery material imaging towards voxel sizes previously achievable only using synchrotron facilities. Such systems are now able to reach spatial resolutions down to 50 nm. Given the non-destructive nature of CT, in-situ and operando studies have emerged as powerful methods to quantify morphological parameters, such as tortuosity factor, porosity, surface area, and volume expansion during battery operation or cycling. Combined with powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) analysis techniques, extracted 3D tomograms and battery-specific morphological parameters enable the development of predictive physics-based models that can provide valuable insights for battery engineering. These models can predict the impact of the electrode microstructure on cell performances or analyze the influence of material heterogeneities on electrochemical responses. In this work, we review the increasing role of X-ray CT experimentation in the battery field, discuss the incorporation of AI/ML in analysis, and provide a perspective on how the combination of multi-scale CT imaging techniques can expand the development of predictive multiscale battery behavioral models.
To meet growing energy demands, degradation mechanisms of energy storage devices must be better understood. As a non-destructive tool, X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) has been increasingly used by the battery community to perform $textit{in-situ}$ exp
The elastic properties of materials derive from their electronic and atomic nature. However, simulating bulk materials fully at these scales is not feasible, so that typically homogenized continuum descriptions are used instead. A seamless and lossle

We present an x-ray absorption study of the oxidation states of transition-metal-ions of LiMnO2 and its related materials, widely used as cathodes in Li-ion batteries. The comparison between the obtained spectrum and the configuration-interaction clu
In this paper, the implementation of optical elements in the form of Pancharatnam-Berry optics is considered. With respect to 3D bulk and diffractive optics, acting on the dynamic phase of light, Pancharatnam-Berry optical elements transfer a phase w
