How Can One Tell if a Li-Ion Battery Will Last forDecades in Only Three Weeks of Testing?

by Jeffery Dahn

Monday, May 21700hRoom 710, Level 7

Lithium-ion batteries are thepreferred power sources forportable electronics where acalendarlifetimeofthreeyearsandacharge-dischargecyclelifeof500cyclesareadequate.Li-ionbatteriesare now targeted for EV and gridenergy storage applications wherethousands of cycles and lifetimes

of 10 and 30 years, respectively are desired.

Sunday, May 11830hRoom 516C, Level 5

Advances in nanoscience andnanotechnologydependcriticallyonthe development of nanostructureswhose properties are controlledduring synthesis. Here we focuson this critical concept usingsemiconductor nanowires, whichprovidethecapabilityforsyntheticdesign to realize unprecedented

structural and functional complexity in building blocks, asa platform material. First, a brief review of the synthesis ofcomplex modulated nanowires in which rational design canbeusedtopreciselycontrolcomposition,structure,andmostrecently, structural topology will be discussed. Second, theuniquefunctionalcharacteristicsemergingfromourexquisitecontrolofnanowirematerialswillbe illustratedwith severalselectedexamplesfromnanoelectronics,quantumelectronics,and nano-enabled energy. Third, the remarkable power ofnanowirebuildingblockswillbefurtherhighlightedthroughtheir capability to create unprecedented active electronicinterfaces with biological systems. Recent work pushing thelimitsofbothmultiplexedextracellularrecordingatthesinglecell level and the first examples of intracellular recordingwill described, as well as the prospects for truly blurringthe distinction between nonliving and living informationprocessingsystems.
