N2 - Invited for this month's cover is the group of Daniel R. Sørensen at the University of Aarhus (Denmark) and at the University of Lund (Sweden). The cover picture shows a battery cell designed for in operando neutron powder diffraction. The picture seeks to illustrate the experiment process where lithium ions are moving into the crystal structure of the battery cathode during discharge. This leads to changes in the crystal structure that are very important to understand for optimizing the battery materials. These structural changes are probed in operando by neutron powder diffraction, and neutrons are especially suited for probing the location of Li-ion compared with similar techniques such as X-ray diffraction. The beauty of using neutrons is also that their penetrating power allows for investigating the battery without the need for windows of any kind.
