Session 16: HETEROGENEOUS NANO-MATERIAL DESIGN FOR ENERGY CONVERSION AND STORAGE
Note: We assume all delegates attend the full 3-day conference. The times/dates shown on the website are tentative for conference scheduling, and subject to change before 20th July 2015, Final schedule will be confirmed on 21st July 2015.
Heterogeneous functional materials with functional void phases and surfaces, e.g., HeteroFoaM materials, are critical elements of many energy conversion and storage devices including batteries, fuel cells and flow batteries, separation membranes, and capacitive devices. Such materials are typically multifunctional, and their reaction with applied mechanical, electrical, and thermal fields is the subject of design for performance. That design enterprise involves the constituents, their morphologies, and their interfaces and surfaces. The purpose of this session is to define the challenges and to identify the best approaches to achieving an understanding, constructing models and analysis, and predicting behavior of such heterogeneous systems as a genre of materials. Fundamentals will be emphasized, but applications and demonstrations of the concepts will be featured in the session.
