| Description: | [DCS seminar] Dr.Aninda J. Bhattacharyya (Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru) -- Optimizing Charge Transport for Maximization of Materials Electrochemical Response |
| Date: | Wednesday, Oct 19, 2016 |
| Time: | 4 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | G06, Lecture Hall Complex |
| Details: | There has been a significant rise in global demand for high performance and safe electrochemical devices for diverse applications. From a totally (Physical) Chemist point of view, the efficiency of an electrochemical device depends greatly on the underlying redox processes occurring at both bulk and interfaces of various electroactive components. Thus, critical understanding of these processes are important and the outcomes should aid in the design of advanced and multifunctional materials. Charge transport (ions and electrons) at varying length scales play a critical role in determining the effective response of electrochemical devices. The materials composition, components configuration, morphology have major influences on charge transport and eventually affects the electrochemical function. This talk will highlight the importance of charge transport and how it can be tuned and optimized via chemical design of materials. An assortment of diverse redox processes having relevance to electrochemical energy harvesting and storage, sensing and actuation will be presented and discussed during the talk. |
