Research Summary
Professor Yet-Ming Chiang’s research aims to design, synthesize, and characterize advanced materials and devices for use in clean energy technologies, including low-carbon transportation, grid-scale electrical energy storage, and sustainable manufacturing. His group studies electrochemical storage materials and devices. Other focuses are electrochemical processes for the decarbonization of materials production and the mining, separation, and recovery of elements from various feedstocks. Projects center on novel conduction mechanisms in solid electrolytes, solid-state batteries, batteries for electric aviation, low-cost highly scalable grid storage batteries, decarbonization of cement production, and electrochemical mining of ashes and other wastes.

10.8.20-Imperial-Day-2-Yet-Ming-Chiang
Ultralow cost renewable electricity is emerging as one of the most important tools for battling climate change, not only via the power sector, but also other industries that have been historically hard to decarbonize. A hallmark of these sectors is that the existing products are fully commoditized; and in many ways these are the most difficult areas in which to innovate. I will discuss two examples where new technology may hold the key. One is long duration electrical storage to support renewable generation, which combined could cost-effectively displace incumbent natural gas as an electricity source. A second is electrification of cement production, which is today the largest GHG emitter amongst industrial materials 10.8.20-Imperial-Day-2-Round-Table-discussion
