Research achievements of Professor Yuki Orikasa and others published in ACS Nano

A research group consisting of members including Mao Matsumoto, a master’s student (at the time), Assistant Professor Chengchao Zhong, and Professor Yuki Orikasa (RARA Fellow) of the Graduate School of Life Sciences at Ritsumeikan University, in collaboration with Principal Researcher Akihisa Takeuchi, Principal Researcher Masayuki Uesugi, and Senior Researcher Kentaro Uesugi from the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI), has non-destructively observed the changes occurring inside all-solid-state batteries—promising next-generation high-performance batteries—using X-ray CT during charging and discharging reactions. This three-dimensional observation has revealed their potential capabilities. The research achievements have been published online in the American Chemical Society’s ACS Nano.
