Spatial and temporal control are critical properties to advance functional macromolecular materials in order to mimic key features of living systems. In my lecture, I will discuss our methodology in developing multicomponent supramolecular polymerization strategies in water.

In Western thought, emotions are often viewed as irrational impediments to knowledge and decision-making. When novel technologies and innovative practices are met with anxiety and resistance, the prevalent strategy is therefore to react with “more information” and “debiasing” campaigns. However,...

The quest for cheaper, safer, higher-density, and more resource-abundant energy storage has driven significant battery innovations. In the context of materials development for next-generation batteries, organic battery electrode materials that store charge with dedicated redox groups have emerged as an exciting option complementary to inorganic materials and demonstrated unique advantages in novel battery technologies.

In this talk I discuss our work creating self-repairing materials and engineering systems; the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieve this goal; and the environmental dividends of success.

After an overview of the basics of energy storage in batteries, the most promising electrochemical operando characterization techniques for battery materials and electrodes will be discussed.
