Electrochem Seminar- Electrochemistry-based and Electrochemistry-Coupled Characterization of Energy Storage Materials
Abstract
Batteries are ubiquitous in our everyday lives and often appear as black boxes. However, the chemistry inherent to their function is diverse and complicated. Examples of mechanistic insight gained from electrochemistry-based and electrochemistry-coupled characterization of energy storage materials will be highlighted in this presentation. This will include approaches to distinguish productive and parasitic processes in functional energy storage materials and systems
Speaker
Dr. Amy MarschilokAmy Marschilok is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Stony Brook University, where she is an Adjunct Faculty in the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Chemical and Molecular Engineering and Co-Director of the Institute for Electrochemically Stored Energy. Dr. Marschilok holds a Joint Appointment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where she serves as Energy Storage Division Manager and Energy Systems Division Manager in the Interdisciplinary Science Department. She also serves as Deputy Director for the Center for Mesoscale Transport Properties (http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/m2m/index.html), an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Marschilok was previously employed as a Senior Scientist in the Medical Battery Research and Development group at Greatbatch Inc., where she was recognized as a Visionary of the Year. Her current research centers on electrochemistry-based and -coupled characterization approaches; materials and electrode concepts for high power, high energy density, extended life batteries; and operando investigations of energy storage materials and systems.
