Description:About the Seminar\n\nTo fully utilize renewable energy for ener
 gy generation\, energy storage is needed to accommodate times when energy 
 generation is inhibited and during peak hours. Rechargeable batteries are 
 projected to accommodate short-term storage needs\, and sodium-ion batteri
 es (NIBs) are a promising complimentary technology to lithium-ion batterie
 s (LIBs) due to their low material cost and working principles. The common
  LIB anode\, graphite\, performs poorly in NIB systems\, so research on al
 ternative anode materials is pivotal to the deployment of these systems. A
 n anode of interest\, tin\, has promising qualities with a high theoretica
 l capacity with sodium\, however\, suffers from mechanical instability whi
 ch arises from volume expansion during cycling. Recently\, multiple groups
  have achieved high reversibility in the sodiation of tin by using glyme-b
 ased electrolytes. Here\, the work uncovering the interfacial chemistry be
 tween glymes and tin anodes in NIBs will be examined\, with particular emp
 hasis placed on recent work published by the Passerini group. Moving forwa
 rd\, these studies offer insight to my work on using tin antimonide as an 
 anode material\, as an understanding of how different electrolytes interac
 t with tin helps direct my research toward a better electrolyte formulatio
 n for tin antimonide. 4:00 pm
