SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Harry Atwater
DESCRIPTION:Harry AtwaterDepartment of Applied Physics and Materials ScienceCalifornia Institute of TechnologyPasadena\, California \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDesign of Materials and Devices for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Conversion using Sunlight\n\n\n\nOver the next two decades\, science advances will be needed to enable scalable technologies for i) direct capture of dilute CO2 at the gigaton scale as well as ii) CO2 reduction to fuels\, chemicals\, and materials\, powered by renewable energy or directly by sunlight. I will discuss materials and device advances needed for a promising capture approach\, a scalable energy-efficient route to direct ocean capture of CO2\, via an electrochemical pH swing. This scheme utilizes bipolar membrane electrodialysis to create the pH swing required to capture CO2 drawn down into the ocean in the form of dissolved inorganic carbon. I will also explore approaches for directly generating liquid solar fuels from carbon dioxide\, sunlight\, water. This requires new photocatalysts and thermocatalytic structures to facilitate transfer of electrons\, protons\, and reactants\, to selectively yield multi-carbon products at semiconductor photoelectrode surfaces and catalytic sites. Two tandem reaction schemes for liquid solar fuel generation from CO2 will be discussed: i) a three-terminal tandem photoelectrode with two monolithically integrated but distinct catalytic centers operating at independent potentials to yield products via a cascaded reaction sequence\, and ii) a tandem photoelectrochemical/solar thermocatalytic cascade that uses electrochemically synthesized ethylene\, carbon monoxide and hydrogen as intermediates to yield multi-carbon products (butene\, hexene\, and heavier hydrocarbons) synthesized via solar-driven thermocatalytic reactions.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Ted Lightfoot
DESCRIPTION:Reception 3:30-4:00pm (2-story space besides 1610 E Hall) \n\n\n\nE.J. (Ted) LightfootTed Lightfoot ConsultingAmherst\, NY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTransport Phenomena and Coating Science\n\n\n\nIn the 1960s Transport Phenomena triggered a shift in engineering education from engineering technology to engineering science. In the 1970s the more advanced coating companies (in the photographic\, magnetic tape\, and paper industries) began to undertake fundamental studies of the formation and drying of thin liquid layers on a moving solid substrate. Over the next fifty years\, tremendous progress has been made in understanding how transport phenomena (including rheology\, fluid mechanics\, and both internal and external mass transport) affect the production of coated layers applied to a range of substrates. This talk will review the history of mathematical modeling of the transport processes encountered in the coating industry as well as several opportunities for fundamental advancement that could benefit battery and fuel cell manufacture as well as the development of Perovskite solar cells. Although the talk will review the use of mathematical tools to describe key physical phenomena important to the industry\, the emphasis will be on human factors — both cultural biases and the individual people who have shaped the field.
