DESCRIPTION:Prof. Shirley Meng\, Materials Science & NanoEngineering\, U
 niversity of California San Diego\, USA\nHigh energy long life rechargeabl
 e battery is considered as key enabling technology for deep de-carbonizati
 on. Energy storage in the electrochemical form is attractive because of it
 s high efficiency and fast response time. Besides the technological import
 ance\, electrochemical devices also provide a unique platform for fundamen
 tal and applied materials research since ion movement is often accompanied
  by inherent complex phenomena related to phase changes\, electronic struc
 ture changes. In this seminar\, I will discuss a few new perspectives for 
 energy storage materials including new gas electrolytes\, new Li/Na interc
 alation compounds and new battery architectures. I hope to demonstrate how
  to combine knowledge-guided synthesis/characterization and computational 
 modeling to develop and optimize new higher energy/power density electrode
  and electrolytes materials for rechargeable batteries from picowatt-hour 
 to megawatt-hour. With recent advances in characterization tools and compu
 tational methods\, we are able to explore ionic mobility\, charge transfer
  and phase transformations in electrode materials in operando\, and map ou
 t the structure-properties relations in functional materials for energy st
 orage and conversion. Moreover\, I will discuss a few future priority rese
 arch directions for electrochemical energy storage.
