The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2013 23 224th ECS MEETING San Francisco, CA October 27—November 1, 2013 Hilton San Francisco San Francisco Travel Association photo by P. Fuszard. San Francisco Travel Association photo.

elcome to San Francisco! We are pleased to convene the 224th ECS Meeting in this great city, a leading center of science, technology, and industry. This major international conference will be centrally located W in the Hilton San Francisco and will include more than 2800 technical presentations and the third international ECS Electrochemical Energy Summit (E2S). We invite you to take advantage of all this meeting has to offer by participating in as many technical and social events as time permits! Featured Speakers

Plenary Session and In 2007 the National Research Council convened a committee to study America’s Energy Future, and the report from the committee ECS Lecture became public in the spring of 2009. This presentation will include Monday, October 28, 2013, 1700h a summary of important events and issues that have arisen since the Grand Ballroom A, Tower 2, report was issued, including expansion of the use of natural gas in the Grand Ballroom Level United States, the devastating impact from the tsunami in Japan at the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s plant in Fukushima, international

America’s Energy Future: Science, tensions surrounding the photovoltaic industry, and a rise in CO2 Engineering, and Policy Challenges concentration in the global atmosphere above the 400 ppm level in 2013. by Mark S. Wrighton Efforts are being made to assure that America’s future energy needs are met at an affordable cost while minimizing adverse effects Mark S. Wrighton was named the 14th Chancellor of Washington on the environment. However, to achieve this goal, many challenges University in St. Louis in 1995, following more than two decades at must be overcome in a number of critical areas, many of which the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was Professor must be addressed by the science and engineering community. of Chemistry, head of the department, and later Provost. Chancellor Other challenges require leadership on local, state, national, and Wrighton earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Florida State international policy. The challenges and opportunities to meet University and a PhD in chemistry from the California Institute of America’s future energy needs will be summarized. Technology. Active in public and professional affairs, he has served on numerous governmental panels, including service as Vice Chair of the NRC Committee on America’s Energy Future.

He has received several ECS Olin Palladium awards including the 2000 AESF Scientific Achievement Award for Award Lecture mathematical modeling of the electrodeposition of alloys. Monday, October 28, 2013, 1400h A physics-based model of a lithium ion cell can be used to make predictions of the voltage of the cell as a function of time for charge Grand Ballroom A, Tower 2, and discharge given the design parameters and operating conditions Grand Ballroom Level of the cell. Such a model enables cell designers to determine the effect Mathematical Modeling of of changing design parameters on cell performance before building the cell. This model can also be used to design a thermal management Lithium Ion Cells and Batteries system to ensure that the heat generated in the cell is removed before by Ralph E. White causing overheating and thermal runaway of the cell. It could also be used to make predictions about the life of the cell given information Ralph E. White is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and a about the anticipated operational conditions. This physics-based Distinguished Scientist at the University of South Carolina. He received model of a lithium ion cell could also be extended to include multiple his PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in 1977 under spatial dimensions to predict the temperature distribution in a lithium the direction of Professor John Newman. Dr. White taught at Texas ion cell for a given set of conditions. It is now possible to use such A&M University for almost 16 years before moving to the University physic-based models of lithium ion cells to simulate the performance of South Carolina where he has served as the Chair of the Department of lithium ion battery packs. of Chemical Engineering and the Dean of the college. Dr. White has These physics-based battery pack models can be used to design authored or coauthored more than 320 peer-reviewed journal articles, thermal management systems, balancing circuits to extend the life primarily on electrochemical systems, and has graduated 50 PhD and of the battery packs, and control algorithms to ensure successful 38 MS students. Currently, he and members of his research group are operation of the battery pack over the life of the pack. A review of working on projects on batteries and numerical methods. Dr. White the development of physics-based lithium ion cell and battery pack is a former Treasurer of ECS, and he is a Fellow of ECS, American models will be presented. 24 The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2013 Featured Speakers (continued)
