TL;DR: In this article, microstructural evolution in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cermet anodes has been investigated using X-ray nanotomography along with differential absorption imaging.

TL;DR: This article reviews state-of-the-art methods, across a spectrum of length scales ranging from atomic to micron, for three-dimensional microstructural imaging of energy materials and concludes with an assessment of the continuing role of three- dimensional imaging in the development of novel materials for energy applications.

TL;DR: The use of zone-doubled Fresnel zone plates for sub-20 nm spatial resolution in full-field transmission X-ray microscopy and tomography at the hard X-rays regime (8–10 keV) is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, X-ray nanotomography and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) have been applied to investigate the complex 3D microstructure of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes at spatial resolutions of 45 nm and below.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the feasibility to substitute the real structure, more complex and computationally expensive, with the simpler and lighter ideal foam representation using home-made Monte Carlo Ray Tracing codes.
