Abstract

In this presentation, I will first visit the history of the establishment of the circulatory system four centuries ago and the vacancy diffusion mechanism in solids eighty years ago. Then I will share the lessons learned from our research on the development and understanding of (1) sol-gel optical-quality and flexible coatings for wear resistance and corrosion protection as well as low dielectric constant films, (2) nanostructured photoanode materials for solar cells, and (3) engineered surface layers or chemistry of electrodes for lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. I will follow up with general guidelines about technical writing and publication and highlight the differences between technical writing and creative writing.
