This award provides funding to support two related workshops bringing together US and Taiwan researchers, 12 from each side, to discuss issues related to electrochemical energy conversion and storage. The objectives are 1) to identify challenges and barriers to more efficient systems as targets of research and 2) to foster research and educational collaboration between the two groups. The first workshop will be in Taipei, Taiwan, in April 2011. In addition to technical talks, there will be a tour of relevant Taiwanese industry and laboratories. The second, follow-up workshop will be in Minneapolis, MN, in October 2011, in conjunction with the national meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. The latter meeting will provide an opportunity to showcase the topic and to engage the US research community more extensively.The two workshops will engage leading researchers in this field. Taiwan is a leader in the field of batteries, both from a fundamental as well as a manufacturing perspective. The participants are well qualified to identify key issues and research opportunities for improvement of electrochemical systems for energy storage and conversion. Such systems range from very small batteries for portable applications to power sources for transportation to large units for storage of energy from intermittent renewable sources, such as solar or wind. The technical challenges to improving efficiency, energy density and power density need to be attacked by application of the latest developments in materials science as well as engineering analysis and design. The participants are well qualified to identify the most promising opportunities and to disseminate the information to the broader research community.

该奖项提供资金支持两个相关研讨会，将美国和台湾各 12 名研究人员聚集在一起，讨论与电化学能量转换和存储相关的问题。目标是 1) 确定更高效系统的挑战和障碍作为研究目标，2) 促进两个群体之间的研究和教育合作。第一个研讨会将于 2011 年 4 月在台湾台北举行。除了技术讲座外，还将参观台湾相关产业和实验室。第二次后续研讨会将于 2011 年 10 月在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行，与美国化学工程师学会全国会议同时举行。后一次会议将提供一个展示该主题并更广泛地吸引美国研究界参与的机会。这两个研讨会将吸引该领域的领先研究人员参与。无论从基础还是制造角度来看，台湾在电池领域都是领先者。参与者完全有资格确定改进能量存储和转换电化学系统的关键问题和研究机会。此类系统的范围从用于便携式应用的非常小的电池到用于运输的电源，再到用于存储来自间歇性可再生能源（例如太阳能或风能）的能量的大型装置。提高效率、能量密度和功率密度的技术挑战需要通过应用材料科学以及工程分析和设计的最新发展来应对。参与者完全有资格识别最有前途的机会并将信息传播给更广泛的研究界。
