ABSTRACT
"Challenging Nanostructured Materials for Advanced Energy Devices"

One of the key challenges facing the widespread use and commercialization of promising energy devices (i.e. fuel cells, batteries, organic solar cells etc.) is the high cost of the electrocatalytic and electrolyte materials and inefficiencies in their assembly and utilization. In this talk, I will present three examples of how we are designing nanomaterials such as graphene-based carbons, MXenes, and bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys that can be incorporated into new architectures for high performance nanostructured-enabled energy devices.

1) Transparent Electronics. We have developed a fully automated Spin Spray Layer by Layer assembly system with sub-second deposition cycle times allowing nano-level control over film growth with a demonstration of transparent (invisible) battery electrodes. Techniques for developing freestanding multifunctional single-walled nanotube (SWNT) and MXene composite thin films for solar cell transparent conductive electrodes will also be described.

2) Electrocatalysts. I will describe a new class of materials, Pt58Cu15Ni5P22 bulk metallic glass that can circumvent Pt-based anode poisoning and agglomeration/dissolution typically associated with supported catalysts during long-term operation in fuel cells. By using subtractive (dealloying) and additive (galvanic replacement) techniques we can push these materials into new directions beyond their glass formability. These amorphous metal alloys can serve as an interesting platform for next-generation catalysts and devices such as the first all bulk metallic glass micro fuel cell.

3) New Device Architectures. Our development of a mesoporous catalytic membrane for Li-O2 batteries recently led us to the recent development of vampire batteries that use heme molecules as a redox mediator. We will also describe our latest efforts on Förster resonance energy (FRET) based solar cells with a single junction power conversion efficiency >10% for a polymer based solar cell as well as Perovskite solar cell efforts.

Despite rapid progress in the computational design of novel functional materials, the materials discovery pipeline remains bottlenecked by the difficulty of synthesizing predicted compounds in the laboratory. Developing a theoretical foundation for predictive materials synthesis requires a more quantitative understanding of metastable phases, which often appear as kinetic byproducts during materials formation. By mapping the thermodynamic scale of crystalline metastability, and calculating relative nucleation rates between competing polymorphs, we can construct synthesis maps to navigate through the thermodynamic and kinetic energy landscape towards desired material phases. I will showcase several applications of this ab initio framework to predict non-equilibrium crystallization pathways of carbonate minerals and functional manganese oxides in hydrothermal synthesis, and conclude with thermodynamic strategies for the discovery and synthesis of novel thin-film nitride semiconductors. Mastering metastability will deepen our fundamental understanding of nucleation and crystal growth, and can expand the search space for functional technological materials beyond equilibrium phases and compositions.

We are excited to announce the EGS & TBP Student Speaker Series organized by Tau Beta Pi and Engineering Graduate Symposium for the College of Engineering, a professional development event for EGS presenters to practice their presentation skills.

Training (for) Better Presentations is aimed at providing Michigan Engineering graduate students the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication skills, so they can learn to effectively convey the "big picture" value of their research to a diverse audience. It also aims to engage a dialog of science and engineering research among graduate students across the entire College of Engineering.

Intended as "teaching through practice" event, each session is structured to have EGS student speakers make a timed presentation on their graduate research to a broad engineering audience and a communications expert panel. Expert panelists will provide constructive feedback to the speakers (and the audience), highlighting the positive aspects of each presentation and also indicating opportunities for improvement. This structure will allow for the speakers to receive specific feedback on their communication skills, while also providing the audience with generalized guidelines for good scientific communication.

We will host two events, both 6-8 pm, at 1303 EECS (10/15) and 1005 DOW (10/18) respectively. Food will be provided!

If you are interested in participating as an audience, please sign up through our TBP website here:

ABSTRACT

Structure, surface chemistry, and energetic disorder can dramatically affect excited state dynamics in low-dimensional systems. Using a combination of ultrafast laser spectroscopy, time-resolved optical microscopy, and kinetic modeling, I will show how these effects manifest in assemblies of colloidal quantum dots (QD) and atomically thin 2D semiconductors, which are promising components of next-generation photovoltaic and lighting technologies. In particular, I will demonstrate the counterintuitive role of entropy in the nonequilibrium population dynamics of excitons and charge carriers in nanoscale systems, and how these dynamics are influenced by the surface and structural organizational of these nanomaterials.

“Controlling Electrochemistry using Electrolyte Design”

ABSTRACT
To accelerate the electrification of transport, batteries based on a lithium metal anode and an oxygen/sulfur-based cathode with high energy densities have elicited great interest. However, electrolyte selection and degradation has limited the maximal energy that can be extracted, and reduced cycle life. In this talk, I will discuss my work on developing small molecule and polymer-based composite electrolytes that can decouple instability from ionic transport. I show novel ionic transport processes within these electrolyte architectures, and their ability to control electrochemical reactions at both the negative and positive electrode surfaces. Firstly, a gel polymer electrolyte is designed to control the oxygen reduction pathway in a lithium-air battery, and secondly, a small molecule electrolyte mixture is designed to reduce the overpotentials required for lithium metal deposition and stripping. Using the electrolyte to control electrochemical reactions provides an additional knob for the design of high energy density systems.

“Imitating Nature’s Gentle Approach: Molecular Engineering of Soft Materials for Energy and Sensing”

ABSTRACT

While conventional electronic devices are composed of hard materials, the pliability and chemical reactivity of soft organic materials may afford new solutions to pressing scientific challenges for applications in energy and environmental monitoring. Here, I will present two examples of molecular engineering of soft materials for (1) mechanically robust organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and (2) bioinspired chemical sensors. OPVs hold promises to produce devices with performance approaching that of silicon-based electronics, but with the mechanical stability of conventional plastics. However, obtaining both “plastic” deformability and high energy conversion efficiency has proven challenging. I will discuss the relationships between mechanical compliance and charge transport in polymeric systems, and the rational design principles that lead to intrinsically stretchable OPVs, allowing for the co-optimization toward the “best of both worlds.” In addition, I will discuss the fabrications of chemical sensors based on complex liquid colloids. These dynamic, multicomponent emulsions behave as a natural sensor with reconfigurable morphologies that are extremely sensitive to the chemical environment. Specifically, their unique coupling between chemical, morphological, and optical properties can be leveraged to detect different classes of biomolecules. These nature-inspired examples serve as an important step in demonstrating the possibility of translating chemical principles to practical devices.

“Advanced Polymeric Materials for Water and Energy Applications: Relating Molecular Structure to Macroscopic Properties”

ABSTRACT

Securing adequate, sustainable supplies of energy and water at affordable costs is an enormous challenge facing humanity. Due to the interconnected relationship between these two vital resources, often termed the Water-Energy Nexus, a shortcoming in one could negatively impact the availability of the other. Technologies based on polymeric materials (e.g., membranes and sorbents) will play a key role in addressing our water and energy needs due to their efficiency, simplicity, and small footprint. The success of such technologies hinges on developing new materials with improved functionality. However, despite a longstanding interest in this research area, significant fundamental and practical challenges remain. This presentation will focus on two such challenges: (1) the lack of fundamental understanding of the influence of polymer structure on ion/water transport in dense polymer membranes and (2) the need for materials with exceptional selectivity for neutral contaminants (e.g., boron) that are ubiquitous in natural waters and difficult to remove with conventional technologies.

The first part of the presentation will introduce a theoretical, unifying framework for ion partitioning and diffusion in ion exchange membranes (IEMs), a class of materials that has attracted significant interest for various membrane-based technologies. The framework, based on counter-ion condensation theory for polyelectrolyte solutions, accurately predicted ion transport properties of IEMs from basic structural knowledge, in some cases with no adjustable parameters. The experimental and modeling results elucidate key membrane structural properties that influence ion transport in IEMs and provide guidance on how to rationally design high performance materials. The second part of the presentation will describe the synthesis of novel porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs) with specific functionality for removing boron from aqueous solutions. Due to their exceptionally high porosity and robust chemical structures, the PAFs exhibited high boron adsorption capacities, remarkably fast kinetics, and good reusability. Notably, the boron-selective PAFs removed trace amounts of boron from synthetic seawater solutions at unprecedented rates, demonstrating the promise of this relatively new class of microporous polymers for water treatment applications.

ABSTRACT
“Towards a Holistic Understanding of Cellular Metabolism”

Measuring intracellular fluxes by 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has become a key activity in metabolic engineering, biotechnology and medicine. Here, I will present important new advances that have extended the scope of this technology to more complex biological systems, including dynamic, interacting, and evolving systems. One of the key 13C-MFA technical advances that was pioneered in our lab centers on the use of parallel labeling experiments for metabolic pathway discovery. In this presentation, I will describe several surprising new metabolic pathways that we have discovered in central carbon metabolism in microbes, including E. coli, as well as mammalian cells using this new powerful technology. These metabolic pathways have been ”hidden” from our view so far because they cannot be estimated using traditional experiments. Only through the use of carefully selected tracers and parallel labeling experiments are we able to visualize these pathways. Applications in cancer medicine, phermaceutical production, and synthetic biology will be discussed.
