Brightness data in a coin cell battery

Caption

This difference map shows the optical properties of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide particles in a coin-cell battery (brighter particles indicate a higher charged state). By capturing this brightness data over time, researchers can use statistical analysis to build a clear mathematical model of the battery's heterogeneity.
