The conventional laboratory characterization techniques provide limited information to better understaning of materials for different optoelectronic applications. In particular, understanding electrochemical mechanisms of materials suitable for energy storage may result in better solutions to the global energy crisis. Synhroton radiation has very high brilliance and broad energy range in the...
