This hybrid program is part of the Illinois Distinguished Lectureship Series. Presented by Chicago Council on Science and Technology, Illinois Tech Wanger Institute for Sustainable Energy Research (WISER), and Armour College of Engineering
High energy, long life rechargeable battery is considered as the key enabling technology for deep de-carbonization. Energy storage in the electrochemical form is attractive because of its high efficiency and fast response time. In this talk, Y. Shirley Meng, Ph.D. will discuss a few new perspectives for energy storage materials including new superionic conductors, reactive metal anodes and their interfacial engineering in a device and system. Meng will also discuss a few future priority research directions for electrochemical energy storage and answers questions from the audience.
