Final Report Abstract

Powder XRD measurements have been carried out on various nanomaterials synthesized in the group of Prof. Pinna in the last 3 years. Below, please find the list of publications in which XRD measurements have been used to elucidate the structure, crystallite size, etc. on the nanomaterials. In addition the diffractometer has been modified in order to carry out in situ measurements during Li/Na insertion extractions.
