Enabling the Global Energy Transition with Sustainable Electrochemical Processes
April 22 • 3:00 - 4:00 pm
Presented by
Prof. Sri R. Narayan
Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California
Coordinated by:
Professor G. K. Surya Prakash
Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry,
University of Southern California
Prof. Sri Narayan pioneered the development of a novel methanol fuel cell technology that led to the commercialization of the first high-energy portable fuel cells and led the Electrochemical Technologies Group to develop and launch the first lithium-ion batteries to power the rovers for the surface of Mars. He has been a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Southern California (USC) for the last 13 years and also the Co-Scientific Director of the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute. At USC, Prof. Narayan and his research group have been tackling one of the biggest challenges of our time, namely, inventing inexpensive and robust systems to store electrical energy from solar and wind generation systems. Prof. Narayan has over 100 journal publications in the field of batteries and fuel cells.
