This is the work behind the article "Unique Na5−xSbSe Phase Enables High-Rate Performance of Sb2Se3 Anodes in Na-Ion Batteries" published in Advanced Energy Materials in May 2025, though in Titan we get to see more the "behind the scenes" of the paper.
Starring a curious and dedicated PhD student (Amalie), equipped with fascinating experimental data, teams up with computational whiz (Chris) and veteran of inorganic chemistry (Helmer) to solve a scientific mystery. And through many hours in the lab, at the ESRF, by the computer, and 14 sharp minds collaborating together - they succeeded.
