Nature Energy
Publishing monthly, this journal is dedicated to exploring all aspects of this on-going discussion, from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies.
Lab-scale UV-Vis Spectroscopy Monitors Oxidation State Changes in Materials for Energy Storage
We report the use of affordable and widely-available UV-Vis spectroscopy to monitor redox activities during charge storage. The data allowed us to distinguish charge storage mechanisms and quantify the oxidation state changes, similar to synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
