报告摘要：Advanced functional ceramics have been indispensable to improve the sustainability of our energy infrastructure. During this seminar, Dr. Song will briefly introduce the research from her group on functional ceramics, such as high temperature solid oxide fuel cells and thermoelectric oxide. In addition, in-depth analysis on the materials atomic structure and chemistry using state-of-the-art microscopy will be presented. Examples of microscopy analysis include grain boundaries and nanoprecipitates in the functional ceramic materials.
