NANO- AND MICROSCALE APPROACHES TO ENERGY STORAGE AND CORROSION. IN: ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION. CHALLENGES FOR THE CHEMICAL SCIENCES IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Energy storage and corrosion are two broad challenges facing transportation research. The paper discusses investigations of electrochemical phenomena at chemical structures that are measured at nanometer length scale that constitute a rapidly emerging frontier of electrochemical science. Provided is as an example the fabrication of new higher energy density batteries which require new scientific strategies in the assembly and deployment of nanoscale structures to control macroscopic electrochemical phenomena. Also discussed is work at Sandia Laboratories that looks into the fundamentals of corrosion. Macroscopic results of experiments indicate that pitting potential is not a thermodynamic value but rather a potential associated with the kinetics of oxide breakdown.
