How happy are #battery materials if they're free to swim in electrolyte?

#rheology matters as much as #electrochemistry & things get #complex!

I am proud of you @Jmmmm_YJ ! And also good news: the associated paper was just accepted in Small 😀

Since the Blade battery has shown 🔋 can be adapted to 🚗 design, it will be interesting to push the limits of both #battery & #EV design together ⚡️
The 2021 @PolestarCars electric mobility competition just opened, if anyone wants to try their hand!

@jordi_sastr3 Very impressive that it can work with 0.2 ppm Li without worrying much about Mg. Lake resource just talked about their Lilac ion exchange process handling 300 ppm within a few hours at #EVFest

Such broad, open & honest conversations about future ⚡️🔋🚗 scenarios, that may come to pass & those that should 🌍 Very fortunate to have @benchmarkmin & the speakers at #EVFest share their vision! ✨

@DrDeCaluwe @SrivatsanRamas2 There are some theoretical reports of 2D materials reaching 1487 mAh/g (Li4C6), let's see if that can be achieved!

@DrDeCaluwe @SrivatsanRamas2 Guessing you can classify materials in terms of the electronic sphere of influence of any dopant/defect. Graphite will have a well defined reproducible bulk & a small percentage of edges/surfaces with ambiguous properties. Graphene & few-layer graphene have nearly no such 'bulk'.

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@jordi_sastr3 Why not think of thinking batteries? 🔋⚡️🧠

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@SrivatsanRamas2 It's still a young, emerging field & there's no cheap way to produce quality graphene yet. Also, can't imagine graphene completely replacing micron/nano-sized anode (Gr or Si) materials (imagine the SEI nightmare!), perhaps as an additive to stabilize interfaces.

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@yuzhiao @davidtboyle Certainly the right takeaway! Perhaps studies reporting sensitivities to different kinds of protocols would help resolve the disagreements.

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@mjlacey It's great to take vocabulary/concepts from a different system! Guess the LIB community didn't have to concern itself with self-discharge the way LIS folk did.

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@mjlacey What a great thread! Reminded of this perspective article by Whittingham et al. on how capacity retention and coulombic efficiency are absolutely not directly correlated in Li metal & anode free cells. https://t.co/7xY73K6pyp

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@ndrewwang New science is still possible with simultaneous, in situ methods, big data, ML, AI; there's so much we don't understand, but standardizing these new tools is still far off.
Perhaps we see scientists as heroes mostly in hindsight & they might've wondered the same, at the time.

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

@DennisKopljar @alexjadecove @bloudermilk Seems there are many parallel bubbles even within a community. The whole machinery makes it so hard to leave a failing idea. When you have your neck on the line, you either delude yourself or others. No one should be held "this" accountable; all energy devices are *so* complex!

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

At a recent scholarly publishing conference, researchers debated a provocative question: Should journals pay peer reviewers? https://t.co/N05pHipFGL

[Garima Shukla, PhD @GarimaShukla_]

Material scientists also use the philosophers toolbox when navigating through ambiguity 🛠️ to decide which experiments will help obtain parameters that seem impossible to measure or isolate 🤔

Thank you 🙂 for proposing an all encompassing policy strategy for parenthood in academia 💪 it has been long overdue! 🕛

Even the next generation will be more eager to take up academic research if they do not have to witness their parent regretting their life choices.

Great experience brainstorming with @TiffanyReeseLab @BanaszynskiLab and @JenniferGillMD about ways academia can change to support women and parents. She who feels it knows it. @ScienceAdvances @UTSWNews https://t.co/jknTZ7sLdk

@ndrewwang @IntercalationSt Loved the anecdotes! 😄 Thank you so much for organizing such a special panel discussion! We desperately need this today- everything's evolving too fast! Can't wait for more, is there something new lined up?
