Nanostructures for Electrical Energy Storage (NEES), headquartered at the University of Maryland, was well represented at the Department of Energy’s EFRC Principal Investigators’ Meeting, held Oct 26-27, 2015 in Washington, DC.  This was a meeting of representatives from all 32  Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) and the Office of Basic Energy Sciences.  In addition to UMD, NEES PI's, grad students and postdocs came from the University of Michigan, the University of California, Irvine, and Sandia National Laboratories.

 

Two plenary speakers, Lynn Orr, the DOE Undersecretary for Science and Energy, and Eric Isaacs, Provost of the University of Chicago, mentioned NEES' "All-in-one Nanopore Battery" (by directors G. Rubloff and SB Lee) work in their presentations, highlighting the pioneering effort using nanostructure designs in mesoscale architectures and its potential impact in the future of electrical energy storage.

 

There were four NEES talks and five technical posters at the meeting. NEES had also submitted an entry in the DOE’s Poetry of Science Contest, with a poem entitled "Three Ways of Looking at a Battery" and a data-rich collage image (see below.)

 

NEES speakers:

  1. A. Alec Talin (SNL-CA): "The Challenge of 3D All Solid State Li-ion Battery"
  2. Eleanor Gillette (UMD): "3-D structure, kinetics and rate performance in V2O5 cathodes"
  3. Yue Qi (Michigan State U.): "Understanding the science at complex interfaces for nano-structured battery design"
  4. Chunsheng Wang (UMD): "Sulfides for Li-ion batteries and beyond"

 

NEES posters:

  1. Malachi Noked (UMD): "Realization of Stable Cathode-Electrolyte Interfaces in DMSO Based Li-Air Batteries: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives"
  2. Timothy Plett (UCI): "Understanding Ion Transport for Model nanoscale Electrode Systems"
  3. Mya Le (UCI): "A 2-dimensional look at the Li ion intercalation for the δ-MnO2 nanowires via direct electrical conductance measurement"
  4. Alexander Kozen (UMD): "Li-based Atomic Layer Deposition Solid Electrolytes for Beyond-Li-ion Batteries"

5. Jeremy Ticey (UMD): "Engineering of CNT/Sulfur Composites for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries"
