Kamila Magdalena Wiaderek

Beamline Scientist/Electrochemist

Biography

Kamila M. Wiaderek is a chemist running Electrochemistry Facility at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. She applies pair distribution function analysis, small angle scattering and diffraction, often operando or in situ, to understand structure-properties relationships of various battery components including cathodes, anodes and electrolytes. Previously Wiaderek worked on Northeast Center for Chemical Energy Storage (NECCES) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) where she was involved in design and implementation of an AMPIX electrochemical battery cell for operando X-ray scattering and spectroscopy, and operando studies of many battery materials using synchrotron-based X-ray scattering techniques. Currently Wiaderek is involved in X-CEL, eXtreme Fast Charge Cell Evaluation of Lithium-ion Batteries where she applies her operando/insitu experience to study cell heterogeneity induced by fast rates.
