DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shirley Meng\nUC San Diego\, California\nHigh energy long 
 life rechargeable battery is considered as key enabling technology for dee
 p de-carbonization. Energy storage in the electrochemical form is attract
 ive because of its high efficiency and fast response time. Besides the tec
 hnological importance\, electrochemical devices also provide a unique plat
 form for fundamental and applied materials research since ion movement is 
 often accompanied by inherent complex phenomena related to phase changes\,
  electronic structure changes. In this seminar\, I will discuss a few new 
 perspectives for energy storage materials including new gas electrolytes\,
  new Li/Na intercalation compounds and new battery architectures. I hope t
 o demonstrate how to combine knowledge-guided synthesis/characterization a
 nd computational modeling to develop and optimize new higher energy/power 
 density electrode and electrolytes materials for rechargeable batteries fr
 om picowatt-hour to megawatt-hour. With recent advances in characterizatio
 n tools and computational methods\, we are able to explore ionic mobility\
 , charge transfer and phase transformations in electrode materials in ope
 rando\, and map out the structure-properties relations in functional mater
 ials for energy storage and conversion. Moreover\, I will discuss a few fu
 ture priority research directions for electrochemical energy storage. \n
