F20MRS Meeting: Understanding the factors that influence multivalent ion intercalation kinetics
November 30, 2020
Dr. Veronica Augustyn is an assistant professor at NC State University. Her group works on the synthesis and characterization of materials for electrochemical energy technologies.
During this year's MRS join the meeting, she is presenting their work on understanding the factors that influence multivalent ion intercalation kinetics with a focus on water addition influence in Mg2+ non-aqueous on Mg2+-ion intercalation into metal oxide host. This proposed strategy is to decrease the interfacial charge transfer resistance and increase solid state Mg2+ diffusion, leading to higher reversibility in the Mg-ion battery system.
The big question that they intend to answer is to understand the potential mechanisms of water role using molecular dynamics simulations and different materials characterization techniques combined with a deep understanding of electrochemistry.
It is definitely an informative talk for electrochemists in the field of energy storage!
