Session 1B
Arkadeep Kumar, Gozde Barim, Gao Liu
Energy storage technologies will be critical for climate-change mitigation and clean-energy initiatives. Such energy storage technologies have to be efficient, integrated with the grid, and adopted widely. Emerging energy storage concepts include new materials for batteries, fast-charging for electric vehicles, safe recycling, thermal batteries and waste-heat recovery, solid-state storage, etc. Research and development of such technologies will benefit from collaborative efforts among scientists in academia, national labs, and industry with consortia. Hence, the goal of this symposium is to bring together a group of scientists to exchange ideas and discuss the emerging concepts of energy storage
