报告人&报告简介

报告人

Prof. Yi-Chun Lu received her Ph.D. degree from MIT in 2012. She is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). She serves as the Associate Editor of Journal of Materials Chemistry A and Materials Advances from Royal Society of Chemistry. She is Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, Founding Member of Young Academy of Science of Hong Kong and was the recipient of Xplorer Prize 2021, IBA Early Career Award 2021, Excellent Young Scientists, National Natural Science Foundation of China (2019), and Hong Kong SAR Research Grants Council Early Career Award (2014). Dr. Lu's research interest centers on developing fundamental understandings and material design principles for clean energy storage and conversion. Specifically, her research group is studying: Electrode and electrolyte design for high-energy metal-air and metal sulfur batteries; Redox-active components and solution chemistry for redox-flow batteries; Electrode and electrolyte design for high-voltage aqueous batteries; Mechanistic understanding of interfacial phenomena governing electrochemical energy conversion and storage processes.

报告简介

Energy storage system is a critical enabling factor for deploying unstable and intermittent renewable power sources, such as solar and wind power sources. Non-aqueous lithium ion batteries dominate the battery markets owing to its high energy density. However, they are flammable, which could bring catastrophic damages in large-scale applications. Redox flow batteries are promising technologies for large-scale electricity storage, owing to its design flexibility in decoupling power and energy capacity. However, redox flow batteries have been suffering from low energy density, which significantly decreases its competitiveness for both stationary and transportation applications. In this presentation, we will discuss strategies to improve the safety, energy density, and cycle life of Li-ion batteries and redox flow batteries. Ultimately, we aim to enable stable and efficient high-energy-density energy storage systems to address the sever intermittency of the renewable power sources. This will bridge the gap between intermittent renewable power supplies and power demands in grid-storage and electric-vehicles.

Professor Zaiping Guo received a PhD in Materials Engineering from the University of Wollongong in December 2003. She was an APD Fellow at University of Wollongong, where she continued as a group leader from 2007. She was appointed as a Distinguished Professor in the school of Mechanical, Materials, Mechatronic, and Biomedical Engineering, University of Wollongong since 2019, and joined the School of Chemical Engineering & Advanced Materials, The University of Adelaide as a Top Talent Professor in 2021. Her research focuses on the design and application of electrode materials and electrolytes for energy storage and conversion, including rechargeable batteries, hydrogen storage, and fuel cells. She published more than 450 papers and these publications have been cited >3,7600 times with an h-index of 104. Her research achievements have been recognised through numerous awards, including an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship in 2010, an ARC Future Professorial Fellowship in 2015, an ARC Laureate Fellowship in 2021, NSW Premier award in 2020, and the Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher Award in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

报告简介

Efficient and reliable energy storage systems are crucial for our modern society. Battery safety is of growin importance and needs to be considered during the development of batteries. Those high-profile incidents involving battery fires as portrayed by the media, result from exothermic chemical reactions occurring between the flammable electrolyte and the electrode material under abusive operating conditions. Non-flammable electrolytes could intrinsically eliminate fire hazards and improve battery safety. In this talk, I will present some of our recent progress in the design and development of non-flammable electrolytes to enhance safety and electrochemical performance of potassium ion and zinc ion batteries.
