Second Report on the multi-scale morphological/structural characterization of silicon-based materials and ageing mechanisms: post mortem and operando analysis

This report will provide further results with respect to the ex-situ (post-mortem) characterization of the morphology/structure of silicon-based materials. In addition, further results regarding the ageing of the battery and its changes in the morphology/structure due to cycling will be given. In this report in addition to the results of the ex-situ characterization, in-operando results will be delivered. All characterization methods in this report will be described and a conclusion regarding the results will be given. This deliverable relates to Task 6.2 and D6.2 and builds on its first results.
