Energy Storage Safety

Cementitious Materials Challenges Facing Energy Storage

One of the greatest challenges facing the petroleum industry worldwide is how to explore the oil from the rock fractures, especially in a form of renewable excavation. By storing the fossil-oil produces from immense renewable sources and transporting it to oil tank, energy storage can transform low-value, unscheduled power into schedulable, high-value “green” products.

Developing these resources will not only lessen environmental impacts, but also increase each country’s domestic energy security. Therefore, the development of high-energy and high-power petroleum storage devices has been one of the research areas of top-most importance in recent years. Among energy storage devices, full cells and/or rechargeable batteries are primary sources of power storage units for modern-day requirements.

In this web page, I will review the mechanics of energy storage.

The energy storage materials program builds on its historic strengths, expertise, and facilities in the areas of materials science, characterization, processing, and computations sciences in an effort to overcome some of the most pressing barriers. I seek to better understand performance and lifetime limitations and develop revolutionary technologies and low-cost processing to provide next-generation energy storage solutions for large-scale transportation and stationary storage.

I am trying to develop next-generation in-situ characterization tools in order to gain new insight in energy storage facility materials behavior and degradation mechanisms. The advanced capabilities in characterization and computational science will enable us to understand those new results and guide our ideas towards new revolutionary systems.

My future research will be based on computational nanomechanics and multiscale modeling, the mechanisms of energy absorption, conversion, harvesting, and storage using nanomaterials.
