To sa tisfy this need\, many investigations are focused on discovering new types of cathode and anode materials for batteries. To elucidate advantageous p roperties of these new electrode materials\, common electrochemical method s and structural characterization techniques\, such as galvanostatic cycli ng and X-ray diffraction\, are used. Although these characterization techn iques have provided valuable information on electrode materials\, these me thods are typically used ex-situ and do not allow the monitoring of reacti ons as the cell is cycling. Novel techniques such as in-situ Energy Disper sive X-ray Diffraction (EDXRD) can enable the mapping of electrochemical r eactions in electrodes in real time while the battery is cycling with resp ect to current\, voltage\, and more importantly\, location within the elec trode and battery cell. This talk will focus on the use of EDXRD to invest igate the inhomogeneity in electrochemical reactions across a lithium iron phosphate electrode\,1 and how this technique can be used to further unde rstand more complex electrode materials in order to optimize batteries as a whole.\n\n(1) Strobridge\, F.
