Public Lecture | Reinventing Batteries
Ғылым және технология
Batteries are needed everywhere, for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage on the electrical grid. All of these applications are limited by the capacity, lifetime and safety of current battery technologies. This lecture discusses new chemistries and materials, now being explored in the lab, that could transform the effectiveness of batteries. The new battery materials require nanoscale engineering, and an important part of this work is the ability to observe their performance during battery operation at the scale of atoms and molecules using the X-ray beams at SLAC. These new approaches put us on a path to storing much more energy in a given volume of battery material, thus making batteries smaller, lighter and cheaper, while also increasing their safety and lifespan.
About the speaker:
Yi Cui is an associate professor at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He received his BS from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1998 and his PhD from Harvard University in 2002. He was a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 2003 to 2005 and joined the Stanford faculty in 2005. Cui is an associate editor of Nano Letters and a co-director of the Bay Area Photovoltaic Consortium, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. In 2008, he founded Amprius Inc. to commercialize high-energy battery technology.

50:00 - "we can not do that in california. we dont have enough water" California is at the Pacific and many costal lines have steep rocks. But maybe you see some reason for rejecting salt water and also some reasonst for why your cliffs arent useable...
There are multiple pumped hydropower storage facilities in CA. Best known are Castaic Lake near Santa Clarita in So Cal and San Luis Dam near I-5 and the road to Gilroy. 2 more are In planning! However to date these are being used as part the projects which transport water to the more arid parts of state and not so much for balancing the duck curve
20:44 Most electropositive is Cs
Now all we need is some sleazy government officials to start selling sulfur credits.

+ticklewit You and others who think you're funny should be watching cartoons or music videos. This stuff is far too intellectual for you.

Ah do Ron Rom Run, Ah do Ron Rum.
A doctor @ talking a lot and saying little !
Too bad he can't speak english that I can understand. His accent is terrible.
I'm sorry but my Chinglish is not good enough and therefore it's too tiresome to follow this guy!
