JEOL Lunch & Learn - free
Battery innovation is moving fast—and understanding why materials succeed or fail is more important than ever. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) plays a key role in revealing the structural and chemical details that directly impact battery performance. Join us for a lunch-and-learn session where we’ll walk through JEOL’s latest solutions for battery characterization across multiple scales. Using SEM, EDS, and soft X-ray emission spectroscopy, we’ll show how these techniques work together to deliver deeper insight into material composition, morphology, and degradation. We’ll share real-world application examples from macro to nano scale, including practical sample preparation workflows and in situ cycling experiments—giving you actionable ideas you can apply to your own work.
