DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gleb Yushin\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\, Atlanta\n
  \nEnergy density and cost of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) based on convention
 al intercalation compounds are closely approaching their limits. The relia
 nce of conventional cathodes on the use of toxic metals additionally endan
 gers health and safety of miners in developing countries. Conversion-type 
 active materials offer an opportunity to double energy stored in LIBs\, re
 duce their cost by the same factor\, and improve cell safety. These materi
 als may be produced from safer\, cheaper and globally available resources 
 and contribute to accelerated adoption of electric vehicles.  For electri
 cal grid storage and other applications that demand even lower cost and im
 proved safety\, but do not require high energy density or fast charging\,
  aqueous batteries based on low-cost raw materials will likely become inst
 rumental. Finally\, solid state batteries may offer enhanced safety\, high
  specific energy and longer cycle stability and thus their development ma
 y benefit future electric flight and autonomous vehicle technologies. Cr
 itically important for the adoption by industry\, novel materials and batt
 ery technologies should serve as drop-in replacements and be fully compat
 ible with existing electrode manufacturing and cell assembling techniques
 . My talk will cover existing challenges\, approaches taken by our group a
 nd others to address these and fundamentals of novel electrochemical ener
 gy storage chemistries beyond traditional Li-ion.
