Charge dynamics lie at the crux of electrochemical energy devices, and in-particular batteries, impacting everything from durability to capacity. On mesoscopic time (ns to s) and length scales (nm to mm) we have a good understanding of charge transport related phenomena in batteries. However, when it comes to faster femtosecond/picosecond processes and those at nanoscopic interfaces, our insight remains limited. This is a critical problem. In this regime lie: (a) the individual electronic/structural steps in the redox chain that can cause electrode capacity loss via charge-transfer to inactive/unstable states (b) (de)solvation processes that inhibit fast charging through chemical imbalances…
