Abstract:
Mechanics as a powerful tool has been widely exploited to unravel the failure mechanisms of materials and structures. With the increasing demand in storage/delivery of the renewable energy and the rapid advance in nanobiotechnology in the last decade, mechanics revives in electrochemistry, biology and nanomedicine. In this presentation, I will illustrate with examples on how mechanical stresses mediate electrochemical cycling in lithium ion batteries, how mechanical forces regulate biological functions and pathogenesis, and how the mechanistic understanding finds its ways to battery material design, mechanical energy harvesting, disease control, and nanomedicine innovation.
