    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...

  2. 10. Impact of the Interface Electrochemistry on the Li-Battery Performance: A first-step study towards multi-scale modeling
    Dr Marie-Liesse Doublet (Institut Charles GERHARDT)
    11/9/12, 9:45 AM
    Energy storage
    Talk
    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...

  3. 6. Top-down and bottom-up modeling paradigms for the simulation of batteries and supercapacitors
    Prof. Alejandro A. Franco (CEA-LITEN)
    11/9/12, 11:00 AM
    Energy storage
    Talk
    Electrochemical devices for electric energy storage, such as lithium ion batteries, lithium air batteries and super-capacitors, are expected to play an important role in the future widespread development of a sustainable energy network for a large diversity of applications. However, several technical challenges related to the materials chemical and structural properties as well as operation...

  4. 14. Calculations of the free energy of sII clathrate hydrates
    Alexander Atamas (Radboud University Nijmegen)
    11/9/12, 11:25 AM
    Energy storage
    Talk
    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...
