Energy-dispersive diffraction studies of inert anodes

Energy-dispersive diffraction data from the Synchrotron Radiation Source at Daresbury Laboratories have been analysed using crystal-structure-based Rietveld refinement. A standardless quantification method has been developed to analyse directly in energy space rather than in d space. Standard mixtures have been quantified to verify the method which has then been applied to a tomographic study of an electrochemical cell.
