Abstract

Studying electrochemically induced phenomena by means of highly sensitive SQUID-magnetometry (superconducting quantum interference device) is very attractive, both for a deeper understanding of charging processes by a magnetic tool and for controlling magnetism by electrochemical stimuli. Both issues will be addressed in this talk.

The magnetic moment serves as highly sensitive fingerprint for the oxidation state of the transition metal ions in battery cathode materials thus enabling to identify the electrochemical ”active” ions. An overview will be given on operando magnetometry studies of the important class of LiNiCoMn-oxide cathode materials (so-called NMC with Ni:Co:Mn ratios of 1:1:1 and 3:1:1 [1, 2]) as well as of sodium vanadium phosphate cathodes [3]. In addition, first operando positron annihilation studies on a battery cathode material (NMC 1:1:1) will be presented yielding insight into lattice defects induced by charging and discharging [4].

Regarding electrochemically induced variations of magnetism, nanoporous materials are particularly promising owing to their high surface-to-volume ratio. Measurements on nanoporous Pd(Co) obtained by dealloying will be presented which demonstrate reversible switching of magnetism by electrochemical hydrogen sorption [5].
