Description:Research Seminar Abstract\n\nSubstituting the graphite in today
 ’s commercial Li-ion batteries with high capacity anode materials such a
 s antimony (Sb) could increase the energy stored in such a cell. However\,
  the high capacity of Sb results in large volume changes of the anode duri
 ng discharge/recharge cycles that mechanically degrade the anode\, ultimat
 ely causing the cell to fail prematurely. In my graduate research\, I’ve
  explored several strategies to mitigate the deleterious effects of the me
 chanical degradation in electrodeposited Sb films. Effective mitigation us
 ing these strategies identifies them as design principles for high capacit
 y battery anodes in general\, and highlights the critical limiting factors
  in developing next generation batteries. 4:00 pm
