Symposium JJ: Materials Research for Electrical Energy Storage

Symposium JJ: Materials Research for Electrical Energy Storage Image

Energy storage is a key component of alternate energy technologies to alleviate global warming and our dependence on foreign oil. The potential of electrochemical energy storage in rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors is enormous for both the transportation and electric power sectors. The symposium will emphasize the challenges and design of improved materials.

Sessions will focus on recent advances in materials, and topics will include:

  • Chemical storage
    - Battery comparisons (such as lithium ion, zinc-air, etc.
    - Cell and system design
    - Cathodes
    - Electrolytes
    - Anodes
     
  • Capacitive storage
    - Double-layer capacitors
    - Pseudocapacitors and hybrid devices
    - New electrolytes
    - Solvents

A special session will be held on the reports from the April 2007 DOE/Office of Science Workshop on Basic Research Needs for Electrical Energy Storage.

Invited speakers include: Kahlil Amine (Argonne National Lab), Andrew Burke (Univ. of California-Davis), Gerbrand Ceder (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology), Bruce Dunn (Univ. of California-Los Angeles), Andrew Gewirth (Univ. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Clare Grey (State Univ. of New York-Stony Brook), John R. Miller (JME, Inc.), Ann Marie Sastry (Univ. of Michigan), Daniel Scherson (Case Western Reserve Univ.), Michael Thackeray (Argonne National Lab), Steven Visco (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab), M. Stanley Whittingham (State Univ. of New York-Binghamton), and Martin Winter (Graz Univ. of Technology, Austria).
