Imaging Sodium Dendrite Growth in All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries using 23Na T2‐weighted MRI (2020)
Journal Article
Rees, G. J., Spencer Jolly, D., Ning, Z., Marrow, T. J., Pavlovskaya, G., & Bruce, P. G. (2021). Imaging Sodium Dendrite Growth in All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries using 23Na T2‐weighted MRI. Angewandte Chemie, 133(4), 2138-2143. https://doi.org/10.1002/ange.202013066

Two‐dimensional, Knight‐shifted, T2‐contrasted 23Na magnetic resonance imaging of an all‐solid‐state cell with Na electrode and a ceramic electrolyte is employed to directly observe Na microstructural growth. A spalling dendritic morphology is observ... Read More about Imaging Sodium Dendrite Growth in All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries using 23Na T2‐weighted MRI.

Hyperpolarised xenon MRI and time-resolved X-ray computed tomography studies of structure-transport relationships in hierarchical porous media (2020)
Journal Article

Structural and chemical heterogeneity in ancient glass probed using gas overcondensation, X-ray tomography, and solid-state NMR (2020)
Journal Article
Rigby, S. P., Stevens, L., Meersmann, T., Pavlovskaya, G. E., Rees, G. J., Henderson, J., …Fletcher, R. S. (2020). Structural and chemical heterogeneity in ancient glass probed using gas overcondensation, X-ray tomography, and solid-state NMR. Materials Characterization, 167, Article 110467. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matchar.2020.110467

Rare ancient glasses have complex, multi-scale structures requiring more sophisticated and non-destructive pore characterisation techniques than usual. Homotattic patch models for nitrogen adsorption gave better fits to the isotherm data, more accura...
