DESCRIPTION:Jean - Marie Tarascon  Chimie du Solide-Energie\, UMR 3680\,
  Collège de France Réseau sur le Stockage Electrochimique de l’Energ
 ie (RS2E) \nProposing new concepts\, identifying new materials\, and unr
 avelling novel mechanisms\, are part of the scientific journey towards th
 e development of successful battery technologies. Some of these differe
 nt aspects will be addressed through this presentation while showing the
  physics these compounds may exhibit. \nDealing with new concepts\, we 
 will show how the discovery of a reversible Li-driven anionic redox proces
 s among Li-rich layered oxides represents a transformational approach for
  creating advanced energy electrode materials while bringing back to the
  scene ligand holes issues in solids\; a fertile ground for superconducti
 vity. Lastly\, concerning sustainability\, we will describe how by mani
 pulating the materials’ composition and by confectioning a new electrol
 yte formulation via tedious iterations\, we could master the Na-ion syste
 m for extensive prototyping.\nTogether\, these examples will illustrate th
 e benefits/excitement of carrying out fundamental research on concrete te
 chnological problems to maintain practical reality\, while broadening ou
 r applied scope since some of our synthesized model materials turn out to
  be attractive for other energy-related applications
