| Description | Energy Storage: Integration of Materials Chemistry, Electrochemistry and Engineering Electrochemical energy storage has been a very hot topic in the last decade. Many efforts have been pursued in identifying new battery materials or technologies for a broad range of applications such as grid energy storage, vehicle electrification, mobile electronics and so on. This talk will highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research but also emphasize the urgent need to identify and address real challenges at relevant scales for battery systems. Three examples will be discussed: (1) Single crystal Ni-rich cathode for advanced Li-ion batteries, (2) next-generation of rechargeable lithium metal battery and (3) microbattery technologies for miniaturized sensors to encourage the integration of materials chemistry, electrochemistry and engineering to overcome the roadblocks for developing advanced battery technologies. |
