Abstract: The transition from fundamental materials research to viable commercial products poses distinct challenges and opportunities, particularly in the context of energy harvesting and storage applications. This talk will explore the intricate process of scaling up innovative materials from the lab bench to industrial levels, emphasizing why size matters in achieving reliable, high-performance devices. We will discuss critical challenges, such as ensuring material consistency and integrating new materials into existing systems, while maintaining cost-effectiveness and regulatory compliance and reliability aspects. Moreover, we will highlight opportunities offered by recent advancements in computational modeling, interdisciplinary research collaborations, and sustainable manufacturing practices. By examining successful case studies and emerging technologies, this presentation aims to provide a roadmap for navigating the complex journey from material discovery to market-ready solutions, ultimately contributing to the global demand for efficient and sustainable energy technologies.
