6 FAQs about [New energy storage materials team]
Who supports YG's research on energy storage?
Y.G.’s research on energy storage was supported through the Fluid Interface Reactions, Structures, and Transport (FIRST) Center, an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, and Office of Basic Energy Sciences. Competing interests: None declared.
What is the future of energy storage?
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
What is Energy Materials Research?
Energy materials research highlights the convergence of science and technology, with social science, economics, and policy. How do these different areas inform each other to enable real-world changes? I always think that, as scientists, we tend to underperform in terms of reaching out to the public.
Why do we need a co-optimized energy storage system?
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.
Do we have enough computational resources to support new energy technologies?
In your opinion, do we currently have enough computational resources to support the development of new energy technologies? The computational power is good, especially with exascale and petascale computing, even though we do consume a lot more electricity with those machines.
Can nanometer-sized materials change the paradigm for energy storage?
In this context, materials with nanometer-sized structural features and a large electrochemically active surface can change the paradigm for energy storage from within the electrode bulk to surface redox processes that occur orders of magnitude faster and allow a greatly improved power and cycle life (1 – 3).
