SUMMARY:Lecture Series
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Porous media form the backbone of electrochemical energy storag
 e and\nconversion technologies\, governing transport\, reaction access\, a
 nd\noverall efficiency in redox flow batteries\, electrolyzers\, and fuel\
 ncells. Despite their central role\, most porous electrodes and\ntransport
  layers have changed little over decades\, relying on\nrandomized architec
 tures that constrain performance\, durability\, and\ncost. Dr. van der Hei
 jden’s research group reimagines porous media\nas engineered components\
 , structures that can be deliberately designed\nrather than inherited. By 
 integrating pore‑scale modeling\, operando\nimaging\, computational opti
 mization\, and advanced manufacturing\, the\ngroup uncovers fundamental st
 ructure–performance relationships and\ndevelops new architectures that r
 educe transport losses. This talk\nhighlights how tailored porous microstr
 uctures can enable more\nefficient\, robust\, and scalable electrochemical
  devices.
