This book is your graduate level entrance into battery, fuel cell and solar cell research at synchrotron x-ray sources and free electron lasers. Materials scientists find numerous examples for the combination of electrochemical experiments with simple and with highly complex x-ray scattering and spectroscopy methods. Physicists and chemists can link applied electrochemistry with fundamental concepts of condensed matter physics, physical chemistry and surface science.
