DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stefan Freunberger\nhosted by Georgios Katsaros\nAbstr
 act: Life demonstrates powerful energy storage using the redox chemistry o
 f main group elements. Yet\, human-made electrochemical energy storage rel
 ies on elements\, which are often scarce\, toxic\, and energy-hungry in pr
 oduction and recycling. The redox chemistry of main group elements known t
 o the biosphere would therefore be key to more sustainable energy storage.
  On the one hand\, sulphur and oxygen can be used directly in metal-sulphu
 r or metal-oxygen batteries or anionic redox materials. Such batteries del
 iver the largest possible energies. However\, the solid\, insulating produ
 cts are challening\, and hence (electro)chemistry and phase evolution are 
 critical to be understood. On the other hand\, organic redox active materi
 als could be sourced from and recycled by living nature\, but require fund
 amental advances to compete with existing technology. Here\, I discuss rec
 ent progress with new materials and fundamental understanding of the react
 ion mechanisms underpinning main group redox chemistries as well as the ch
 allenges ahead.
