Research on NCs went through much advancement in the last twenty years\, for example in the synthesis\, which opened up the possibility to control their size\, shape and chemical composition. An additional step forward was the creation of a wide range of superstructures from the assembly of such NCs\, which can be thought of as new types of artificial solids. This\, coupled with the possibility to replace the native ligands on the surface of the NCs with various molecules\, and even single atom ligands\, has conferred unique electrical features to films of NCs that make them attractive for low cost alternatives to many technologies. Progress also came from the study of chemical transformations in NCs. An emerging area of research is that of nanocrystals of halide perovskites. The present talk will therefore highlight current trends in the various aspects of NCs\, with emphasis on energy related applications and their societal impact\, and will provide an outlook on future developments in these fields. \n  URL:https://mem-c.washington.edu/calendar/mem-c-lecture-colloidal-inorganic-nanocrystals-properties-applications-perspectives/ LOCATION:Johnson 102\, Johnson Hall- UW\, seattle\, wa END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20190430 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20190501 DTSTAMP:20260403T104643 CREATED:20181027T035127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181027T035127Z UID:602-1556582400-1556668799@mem-c.washington.edu SUMMARY:MRSEC Site Visit DESCRIPTION:All hands should be present for our NSF MRSEC review panel visit.

The most significant technical barrier to developing commercially viable Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) is the energy storage system. The challenge is to develop batteries that are able to perform the requirements imposed by a PHEV system and yet meet market expectations in terms of cost and life. In this case\, the PHEV battery will experience both deep discharge\, like an electric vehicle\, and shallow cycling necessary to maintain the battery for power assist in charge sustaining HEV mode. Conventional lithium-ion batteries based on metal oxides and graphite have made significant progress in recent years for HEV applications\, however\, durability with the PHEV duty cycle and the ultimate cost and safety of the technology remain key challenges. To achieve a very high all electric drive range\, a new battery system with advanced high capacity cathode materials and stabilized high capacity anode is needed. In this talk\, we will disclose several strategies to increase significantly the energy density of lithium battery trough the development of high energy cathode material coupled with high voltage electrolyte. We also describe some new approach of improving the cycle life of Si/carbon composite anode and addressing the poor initial efficiency of this system by developing a novel prelithiation concept. We will conclude by showing a novel Sulfur selenium based system that overcome both conductivity\, and dissolution issues known to sulfur system. \nAbout the speaker\nDr. Khalil Amine is an Argonne Distinguished Fellow and the manager of\nthe Advanced Battery Technology team at Argonne National Laboratory\,\nwhere he is responsible for directing the research and development of\nadvanced materials and battery systems for HEV\, PHEV\, EV\, satellite\, military and medical applications. Dr. Amine currently serves a committee member of the U.S. National Research Consul\, US Academy of Sciences on battery related technologies. He is an adjunct distinguished professor at Stanford University\, Hong Kong University of science & Technology\, Peking University\, Beijing Institute of Technology and Nanjing science & Technology University.
