Seminar - “Thin Porous Materials:Characterization Challenges & Modeling Opportunities” by Jeff Gostick, Department of Chemical Engineering, McGill University

ABSTRACT:  Thin porous materials are found in many critical applications such as battery and fuel cell electrodes, wound dressings, filtration membranes, fabrics and paper, to name a few.  The standard body of porous media techniques and theories have been developed for rock and soil pertaining to reservoirs and aquifers.  Consequently, studying transport processes in thin porous materials generally requires developing new approaches, both experimental and modeling.

Seminar “Electrocatalysis in Oxygen Reduction Reaction: New Materials & Understandings for Fuel Cell & Lithium Air Battery Applications” by Di-Jia Liu, Chemical Sciences & Engineering Division, Argonne National Laboratory

ABSTRACT:  Globe warming and energy security are two major challenges the world is facing today. To preserve our environment and energy resource, it is imperative to maximize the utilization of existing fuels while exploring renewable sources. Fuel cell and lithium metal battery as the next-generation high-efficiency energy conversion and storage devices have attracted a great deal of attentions in recent years. This presentation summarizes some recent progresses in my laboratory in these two research areas.
