Abstract |
New materials hold the key to fundamental advances in energy conversion and storage, both of which are vital in order to meet the challenge of global warming and the finite nature of fossil fuels. Nanostructured materials offer unique properties or combinations of properties as electrodes and electrolytes in a range of energy conversion and storage devices. Also, one of the key challenges facing the widespread use and commercialization of promising energy conversion and storage devices (i.e. solar cells, photoelectrochemical cells, electrochemical cells, supercapacitors etc.) is the high cost of the electrode and electrolyte materials and inefficiencies in their assembly and utilization. In this talk, I will present examples of how we are designing nanostructured materials such as self-assembled copolymers, inorganic materials and hybrid templates that can be incorporated into multifunctional composites for high performance energy conversion and storage devices. |
