 ies"\n\nShudipto Konika Dishari\, Ross McCollum Associate Professor\, Chem
 ical and Biomolecular Engineering\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln\n\nAbst
 ract:\n\nAdvancing the design of electrochemical energy conversion and sto
 rage devices is critical to generating electricity in a clean\, sustainabl
 e manner for industry\, transportation sectors\, and beyond. Achieving the
 se goals requires not only a deep understanding of state-of-the-art materi
 als but also the development of more efficient next-generation alternative
 s that are both efficient and sustainable.\n\nThis talk will highlight our
  efforts to harness nature’s arts for a greener start in energy conversi
 on and storage devices. Specifically\, I will present our efforts to lever
 age plant-based feedstocks and nature-inspired design principles to create
  unique\, durable\, fluorine-free solid polymer electrolytes to boost ion 
 transport at electrode interfaces and membranes.\n\nSpeaker(s): Shudipto D
