The Future of Energy Storage

Monday, March 23, 2020, 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM EDT

WEBINAR

Presented By

The New York Academy of Sciences

 

Energy storage devices are a critical component in mobile device technologies and will prove vital in revolutionizing both a greener electronic grid and transportation.  This webinar will feature promising new research on advanced functional nano- and micro-scale materials that could very-well change the landscape of what is possible in energy storage devices.

In This Webinar, You’ll Learn

  • What nanotechnology-driven solutions enable more energy dense, cost effective energy storage devices.
  • What advances allow smaller more powerful batteries.
  • What provides a greater ability to harness more sustainable energy sources.
