Energy storage devices, especially, lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly important due to their positive impact on clean energy technologies such as solar and wind power as well as electric vehicle applications. The key challenges we face today are to make these batteries affordable and durable.
The energy storage problem is inherently interdisciplinary in nature due to a strong coupling between mechanics and electrochemistry. For example, charge/discharge process of electrodes leads to phenomenon such as phase transformation, large deformation, fracture, and fatigue. The stress and strain fields developed in electrodes due to lithiation/delithiation can strongly influence the kinetics and thermodynamics of electrochemical processes. Significant research efforts are focused on developing advanced materials for energy storage. In addition, it is necessary to develop new mathematical models and experimental techniques to accurately simulate and design next generation high energy-density and durable energy storage devices.
Topics for the symposium include but are not limited to:
- Theoretical studies: DFT, Molecular dynamics, and continuum models of anodes, cathodes, and composite electrodes
- Experimental studies: Characterization of basic mechanical properties, degradation mechanisms, and measurement of evolution of mechanical properties with state of charge
- Studies which combine theory and experiments, and explore how electrochemistry and mechanics phenomenon are coupled and how they affect battery performance
- Studies on developing advanced electrode designs based on nano wires, nano particles, and other architectures
