DESCRIPTION:Dr. Yi-Chun Lu\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong\nBio: Dr.
  Yi-Chun Lu received her B.S. degree in Materials Science & Engineering fr
 om the National Tsing Hua University\, Taiwan\, in 2007. She received her 
 Ph.D. degree in Materials Science & Engineering from the Massachusetts Ins
 titute of Technology (MIT)\, Cambridge\, USA in 2012. After her graduate s
 tudy\, she worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry 
 at the Technische Universität München\, Germany.\nDr. Lu has been appoin
 ted as a research affiliate of MIT since 2013. She is currently an Assista
 nt Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at
  the Chinese University of Hong Kong.\nDr. Lu currently serves as an edito
 rial board member for Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).\nEnerg
 y storage system is a critical enabling factor for deploying unstable and 
 intermittent renewable power sources such as solar and wind power sources.
  Redox flow batteries are promising technologies for large-scale electrici
 ty storage\, owing to its design flexibility in decoupling power and energ
 y capacity. However\, the redox flow batteries have been suffering from lo
 w volumetric energy density due to low solubility of active materials\, wh
 ich significantly decreases its competitiveness for both stationary and tr
 ansportation applications. In this presentation\, we will discuss new desi
 gn strategies to increase the energy density of redox flow batteries. We w
 ill discuss new flow cathode concepts that offer high-energy-density redox
  flow chemistries and alleviates contact issues between insulating active 
 materials and conductive carbon network. The interactions between solid an
 d solution phases and their impacts on fluid viscosity and flow cell perfo
 rmance will be discussed.
