As modern societies continue to advance, become more populous and adopt a variety of new technologies, the need for advanced and novel materials has been widely recognized. This need for novel materials is nowhere greater and more urgent than in the electric power sector to enable cost-effective, reliable and long-term energy generation and storage technologies which are essential for keeping pace with the ever-growing need for electricity in Canada and elsewhere. Renewable energy generation technologies such as wind and solar offer alternatives to conventional technologies; however, their intermittent natures and their relative high cost have hindered their widespread penetration into the electric power sector. Viable and affordable energy storage technologies have great potential to aid in the modernization of electric power grid, to facilitate inclusion and growth of renewable energy technologies, and to offer an alternative to fossil-based fuels in the transportation sector. The proposed Industrial Research Chair for Colleges (IRCC) for Lambton College, Dr. Shahram Karimi, will work with local and regional industrial partners offering his extensive expertise in novel material development for energy generation and storage using nano-engineering and other advanced techniques, system design, optimization and integration, and failure analysis. Confirmed collaborating companies include Volta Energy Inc., ProTerra Inc., and BioGen Solutions Inc. Other partnerships are currently under negotiation. It is anticipated to build a strong and robust applied research and development program at LC. Significant contributions to local and regional energy realted companies will be achieved through direct collaboration and knowledge transfer and the preparation of the next generation of highly qualified personnel (HQP).

随着现代社会不断进步、人口增长和采用各种新技术，对先进和新颖材料的需求已得到广泛认识。电力行业对新型材料的需求最为迫切，以实现具有成本效益、可靠且长期的能源发电和存储技术，这对于满足加拿大和其他地区不断增长的电力需求至关重要。风能和太阳能等可再生能源发电技术提供了传统技术的替代方案；然而，它们的间歇性和相对较高的成本阻碍了它们在电力领域的广泛渗透。可行且负担得起的储能技术具有巨大的潜力，有助于电网现代化，促进可再生能源技术的包容性和发展，并为交通运输领域提供化石燃料的替代品。拟议的兰姆顿学院工业研究主席 (IRCC) Shahram Karimi 博士将与当地和区域工业合作伙伴合作，提供他在使用纳米工程和其他先进技术用于能源生成和存储的新型材料开发、系统设计、优化和集成以及故障分析方面的丰富专业知识。已确认的合作公司包括 Volta Energy Inc.、ProTerra Inc. 和 BioGen Solutions Inc.。其他合作伙伴关系目前正在洽谈中。预计 LC 将建立一个强大而稳健的应用研究和开发项目。通过直接合作和知识转移以及培养下一代高素质人才（HQP），将为当地和区域能源相关公司做出重大贡献。
