Electrochem Seminar - "Lithium Rechargeable Batteries: Electrode Design and Manufacturing Strategies"

Abstract

Lithium rechargeable batteries (LIBs) promise high energy density and are the most robust energy storage system for various portable electronics and the decarbonization of the global automotive sector. A major challenge to the continued deployment of Li-ion batteries into transportation and advanced electronics is the difficulty in achieving further increases in performance and decreases in production costs. As battery electrodes are the key components of LIBs, the combination of appropriate material selection and electrode structure engineering via advanced electrode manufacturing processes will significantly enhance the performance of lithium rechargeable batteries. In this seminar, Hwa will briefly summarize his recent progress in developing flexible LIB electrodes and sulfur electrodes for Li/S cells manufactured via binder- and solvent-free processes.

Speaker

Yoon Hwa

Yoon Hwa is an assistant professor in the school of electrical, computer and energy engineering at Arizona State University in AZ. Hwa, a former researcher at the University of California Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has been establishing his research programs that aim to develop a new research paradigm for energy technologies, which seeks to identify the most effective solutions to overcome the current major challenges. Two focused research areas are: (1) developing new energy material synthesis methodologies, (2) micro- to nano-scale device architecture design and manufacturing
