Submitted by Gromadskyi on

I'm looking for postdoc or engineering position in energy storage or power source area (development of supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, etc.), where I could apply my knowledge as well as many-years hands-on experience in electrochemistry, materials science and chemical engineering. d.gromadskyi [at] gmail.com

Symposium on Li-ion batteries at the SES 50th annual meeting

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

Dear Colleagues,

Please consider to attend the symposium entitled  "Lithium ion batteries - when chemistry meets mechanics"  at the occasion of the Joint Society of Engineering Science (SES) 50th Annual Technical Meeting and ASME-AMD Annual Summer Meeting, July 28-31, 2013, at Brown University.



The description of the symposium is attached below.

Fracture and debonding in lithium-ion batteries with electrodes of hollow core-shell nanostructures

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

In a novel design of lithium-ion batteries, hollow electrode particles coated with stiff shells are used to mitigate mechanical and chemical degradation.  In particular, silicon anodes of such core-shell nanostructures have been cycled thousands of times with little capacity fading.  To reduce weight and to facilitate lithium diffusion, the shell should be thin.  However, to avert fracture and debonding from the core, the shell must be sufficiently thick.
