Principal Investigator: George J NelsonProposal No: 1550512Energy storage is emerging as a major challenge for enabling renewable energy production from intermittent grid sources such as wind and solar, and for enabling the next generation of electric vehicles. This award will provide partial support to host a mini-symposium on Multiphysics Coupling in Energy Storage at the 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE). The IMECE is the premier conference for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that typically attracts around 4000 attendees from more than 75 countries. The 2015 IMECE will be held at the Hilton Americas and the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas from November 13, 2015 to November 19, 2015. The proposed mini-symposium will assemble a diverse group of engineers and scientists with the objective of identifying recent advances and critical needs for comprehensive models that find ways to improve the performance of devices for storage of renewable energy, including batteries. The speakers will come from academia, industry, national laboratories, and science and engineering research centers. Special efforts will be made to recruit speakers from under-represented minorities and women in engineering. This environment will foster interdisciplinary collaboration between mechanical engineers, materials scientists, computational scientists, and electrochemists.Improving electrochemical energy storage devices for vehicle electrification, renewable energy integration and grid storage depends on understanding complex reaction and transport processes spanning multiple length and time scales. The mini-symposium on Multiphysics Coupling in Energy Storage at the 2015 IMECE will build interdisciplinary collaborations to around this theme will advance development of a more sustainable energy infrastructure. The mini-symposium will consist of 19 invited presentations organized in 4 technical sessions. The invited presentations will address key issues related to multiphysics behavior of energy storage devices. These issues include, but are not limited to: (1) Opportunities and challenges in Li-ion chemistry and other battery chemistries; (2) Coupled electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical physics; (3) Modeling and characterization of physical processes across length scales; (4) Mesoscale physics of microstructure-transport-chemistry interactions; (5) Degradation processes controlling safety and lifetime; (6) Origin and evolution of safety events such as thermal runaway.

能源存储正在成为实现风能和太阳能等间歇性电网可再生能源生产以及下一代电动汽车的主要挑战。该奖项将为在2015年国际机械工程大会和博览会（IMECE）上举办储能多物理场耦合小型研讨会提供部分支持。IMECE是美国机械工程师协会（ASME）的主要会议，通常会吸引来自75个国家的约4000名与会者。2015年IMECE将于2015年11月13日至19日在德克萨斯州休斯顿的希尔顿美洲酒店和乔治·r·布朗会议中心举行。这次提议的小型研讨会将聚集不同的工程师和科学家，目的是确定最近的进展和对综合模型的关键需求，这些模型可以找到改善可再生能源存储设备（包括电池）性能的方法。演讲者将来自学术界、工业界、国家实验室以及科学和工程研究中心。将作出特别努力，从代表性不足的少数民族和工程领域的妇女中征聘发言者。这种环境将促进机械工程师、材料科学家、计算科学家和电化学家之间的跨学科合作。改进用于汽车电气化、可再生能源整合和电网存储的电化学储能装置取决于对跨越多个长度和时间尺度的复杂反应和传输过程的理解。2015年IMECE能源存储多物理场耦合小型研讨会将围绕这一主题建立跨学科合作，推动更可持续能源基础设施的发展。这次小型研讨会将包括19场受邀演讲，分4次技术会议组织。受邀演讲将讨论与储能设备多物理场行为相关的关键问题。这些问题包括但不限于：(1)锂离子化学和其他电池化学的机遇和挑战；(2)电化学、热学和机械物理耦合；(3)跨长度尺度的物理过程建模和表征；(4)微观结构-输运-化学相互作用的中尺度物理；(5)控制安全性和寿命的降解过程；(6)热失控等安全事件的起源与演变。
