Energy storage technologies, in particular batteries, will play a massive role in the transition
to renewable and sustainable energy sources required to safely meet future energy
demands. As an alternative to traditional transition-metal based materials, organic cathode
materials offer a green and sustainable alternative for the next-generation of lithium ion
batteries. Unfortunately, these materials are hampered by their poor cycling stability, leading
to short lifetimes. In this presentation, we highlight our research aiming to improve the cycling
stability, along with our plans to gain a fundamental understanding of the lithium storage
mechanism of these materials.
Nicholas Kissoon is a PhD candidate in Dr. Lingzi Sang’s lab in the Faculty Science. The research falls under the category: Transport, storage, and access.

Future Energy Systems is a $75 million research program at the University of Alberta, funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. More than 130 researchers, 600 graduate students, post docs and other highly qualified personnel in nine faculties are studying the energy transition in over 90 different projects. Our researchers seek to develop energy technologies of the future, improve today’s energy technologies, and understand the transition between the two. We are also studying the effects of energy transition on society, the economy, and the environment.
Broadly speaking, we can simplify this complex system into four broad categories:
-Energy generation, harvesting, and production
-Transport, storage, and access
-Use, impact, and regulation
-Monitoring, management, and mitigation
Through our Energy in a Flash Lightning Research Speaker Series, we will explore all four of these categories, and see how broad and diverse our energy systems truly are.
