Talk
The deployment of cost-competitive, highly efficient, and environmentally benign energy conversion and storage technologies is a major global challenge. In spite of excellent technological prospects, commercialization of advanced electrochemical energy systems, such as Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFCs) and metal-air batteries in transportation, electronics, and stationary power generation...

Li-Ion batteries have become indispensable in the field of portable electronics and hybrid electric vehicles. If their high energy density is a major asset, their life and reliability are still inadequate to respond favorably to industry specifications to which they are subject. Understanding the degradation modes of the different elements of a Li-Ion battery is now one of the major objectives...

Clathrate hydrates are of great technological interest because of their capacity to store gas at relatively high density. They are therefore considered as prospective candidates for hydrogen storage materials. Extreme pressures are required to form stable pure hydrogen clathrate hydrates, which makes it impractical to use pure hydrogen clathrates in technological applications. However, the...
