Happy #EarthDay2024 !
In this talk I give my heartfelt pledge to combat the #ClimateCrisis - we need both the public and private sectors to engage! 🔋
The race is ON! I invite you to join us Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion and Argonne National Lab to run this race.

Took the Boeing factory tour before #S24MRS meeting - seeing the huge carbon fiber composite wings is amazing! And I found out how to get a close look at these planes. You need a check of $99Million USD as a down payment :)
Anyone Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion ?

ExPost Technology, advised by Ying Shirley Meng and a participant in Resurgence at the Polsky Center at the University of Chicago, is awarded $8 million from U.S. Department of Energy to support the development of an advanced mobile machinery system for pre-processing consumer electronics and batteries.

One of the best work Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion have read this year!! The importance of Li2O overlooked in the past. Gustavo M. Hobold you did a great job!!!

Holding a prototype in the hand is thrilling, especially this is with #LiPON electrolyte, one of most magical electrolytes Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion work on :)
Outstanding speed of development at Ensurge Micropower pivoting from #microelectronics to #microbatteries in merely four years!

Latest Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion work on #allsolidstate - A prelithiation strategy using the stabilized lithium to improve the initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) and conductivity of Si anode, leading to 95% ICE and excellent capacity retention up to 1000 cycle.

Last night we experienced the magic at Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Klaus Mäkelä, the youngest music director EVER at CSO! Absolutely mesmerizing experience , Symphony No. 10 by Shostakovich shows how Music Illuminates People!!
With Graham Elliott for a Bday celebration.

The latest Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion alumni gathering in the Bay Area. We are missing quite a few members because a few guys have to take care of their new born babies 😀. Congratulations 🎉 So glad to see these smiling faces!!
今年我們有好幾個龍寶寶出生 💕

Celebrate Spring 🌱

'Professor Shirley Meng: Sodium Ion Batteries // Deep Dive'

Shirley Meng is a Chief Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and has been leading the charge on Sodium Ion Batteries for well over a decade now.

I learned a lot in this

Work done by Dr. Charlotte Gervillie at Laboratory for Energy Storage and Conversion ! The work is funded by Cummins Inc. we are grateful to the editor and reviewers ACSEnergyLett !

I want to share an inspiring image with everyone! 🤩
Gleb Yushin 🇺🇦 is now CTO of Sila, Dan Dan Steingart is the Head of department at Columbia University. We made the pledge in 2012 (below) about our career and we are checking in with each other today 2024 (above) ! We all did okay!
