DESCRIPTION:Rechargeable batteries\, particularly lithium-ion 
 batteries\, have become somewhat ubiquitous in our
  portable electronics in recent years and have bee
 n proposed for widespread application in vehicular
  applications and large-scale storage for the elec
 tricity grid.  In order to meet the extra demands 
 of these new applications improvements in battery 
 performance are required\, be it lighter or more f
 lexible batteries\, shorter charging times\, lower
  cost components or the use of more environmentall
 y sustainable materials.  All these requirements n
 ecessitate development of new\, optimised electrod
 e materials. In this talk\, I will focus on how we
  can use crystallographic studies of batteries dur
 ing operation to understand\, on the atomic scale\
 , how the structure of a material affects its perf
 ormance in a battery\, and how we can use this inf
 ormation to propose improved materials for use in 
 battery technologies.
