Li-ion batteries are the prime candidate for current energy storage devices, but other chemistries such as Na-ion, Li-S, and Mg have also attracted wide attention. This talk will discuss recent progresses in developing nanostructures materials and methods to improve the reversibility and stability of the electrodes, electrolytes and the full devices. Nanostructured Si is used as an example for Li-ion batteries. We will discuss the role of nanostructures on the structural degradation and SEI formation. New nanostructured materials are also studied for Na and Mg chemistry in particular in terms of improving the charge transport properties and reducing the undesirable electrolyte-electrode interfacial reactions.
