Biography
Kang Xu is an MRS Fellow, ECS Fellow, ARL Fellow (emeritus), and currently the Chief Technology Officer of SES AI Corp based in Boston, MA. He received Ph. D. in Chemistry under the tutelage of Prof. Austen Angell at Arizona State University, and has been conducting electrolytes and interphasial chemistry research for the past 35 years. He has published 360+ papers, wrote/edited 5 books/chapters, and obtained 30+ US Patents, with total citation of 81,000+ and an h-index of 137. He is a Clarivate’s highly-cited author, and one of the top 2% most influential researchers in the Stanford Database.
Among his numerous publications, he is best known in the field for the two comprehensive reviews published at Chemical Reviews in 2004 and 2014, and the textbook entitled “Electrolytes, Interfaces and Interphases” published by RSC Press in April 2023. His work has received many recognitions and awards. Upon his retirement from federal service 2023, he received an Army Civilian Service Medal. In 2023 he joined SES AI Corp as the Chief Scientists to create the AI-team, and in 2024 he became its Chief Technology Officer in leading the development of the world’s first AI-platform for new molecule design, Molecular Universe (molecular-universe.ses.ai).
Abstract
Electrolyte is a unique component in electrochemical device, because it must interface with every other components in the device, be it active (anode, cathode or other redox species), assisting (conductive additive, binder) or inactive (current collectors, separators and packaging materials). These interfaces often dictate whether the device could work along the designed electrochemical pathways or depart from it, causing performance or even safety issues. Rechargeable batteries represent the best example for the importance of electrolytes, interfaces, and interphases.
In this talk, I will cover the fundamentals of electrolytes, the challenges in the new battery chemistries, and how emerging AI techniques could impact the efforts of discovering new materials.
