The combination of energy shortage and climate change is one of the most complex challenges the world,as a whole,has had to face.The next 50 years is a vital period for human civilization and it is imperative that we revolutionize the way we produce and store energy and incorporate renewables as our primary source of energy.This talk will provide a snapshot of the future of the sustainable energy landscape and identify several game-changing technologies that will facilitate the widespread deployment of renewables.In particular,we will highlight our recent advances in fuel cell and redox flow battery technologies achieved through an interdisciplinary approach that combines thermo-fluids science and electrochemistry.The scientific issues and practical challenges pertaining to fuel cells and advanced batteries will be discussed,with a particular emphasis on how the challenges can be addressed in a collaborative manner.
