Abstract
Scalable manufacturing of high-aspect-ratio multi-material electrodes are important for advanced energy storage and conversion systems. Such technologies often rely on solution-based processing methods where the active material is dispersed in a colloidal ink. To date, ink formulation has primarily focused on macro-scale process-specific optimization (i.e. viscosity and surface/interfacial tension), and been optimized mainly empirically. Thus, there is a further need to understand nano- and mesoscale interactions and how they can be engineered for controlled macroscale properties and structures related to performance, durability, and material utilization in electrochemical systems.

Kelsey B. Hatzell received a B.S. in engineering and B.A in economics from Swarthmore College in 2009, and a M.S. in mechanical engineering in 2012 from The Pennsylvania State University. In 2015 she received a Ph.D. in Material Science and Engineering from Drexel University under the guidance of Prof. Yury Gogotsi. Aer completing her Ph.D. she held the position of ITRI-Rosenfeld postdoctoral fellow under the guidance of Dr Adam Weber at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She currently is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical, Chemical, and the Interdisciplinary Material Science departments at Vanderbilt University. Her research group focuses in the nanomaterials processing and manufacturing of energy storage and conversion devices. She has won numerous international and domestic awards including the NSF graduate research fellowship, the MRS Silver graduate student award, the Arthur Nowick award from the materials research society, and Ralph E. Powe Junior Enhancement Award from the ORAU. M. B. D and K. B. H were supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1727863. K. B. H acknowledges support from the Ralph E.
