Guidelines for number of slides(Not a template slide – for information purposes only)

Note: 70% of your presentation/discussion should be devoted toTechnical Accomplishments and Future Work

Most oral presenters this year will be allotted 30 minutes – 20 minutes for the prepared presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Thus, presentations should contain maximum of 15 to 20 slides.

Except for the time/number of slides requirements, this template applies to poster presentations as well as oral presentations.

Objectives

• Describe the objective of your project and what you were to achieve for the work covered by your presentation, i.e., the objective of your work over the past year

• Your objectives should make it clear what the relevance of your project is to the Hydrogen Program

(View Notes page for additional information)

Example Objectives Slide

7

Approach

• Describe overall technical approach using one slide

• Emphasize unique aspects of approach and de-emphasize discussion of equipment used

• Use simple statements so that scientists and engineers not expert in your area can readily understand the explanation of your approach (View Notes page for additional information)

Technical Accomplishments/ Progress/Results

• Describe the most important technical accomplishments achieved during this reporting period and their significance (from last year’s review to date for existing projects, or progress to date for new projects)

• Relate the accomplishments to project milestones and objectives

• Benchmark the progress versus FY05 results, if applicable

• Benchmark the accomplishments against the technical targets (if applicable)

(View Notes page for additional information)

11

Accomplishments/Progress/ Results Slides

• Include sufficient slides to explain what was done leading to the technical accomplishments

• Please limit your slides to the time you have available – you will not be allowed to go over your allotted time

12

Accomplishments Slides (con’t)

• To assist the reviewers evaluating your work, please include bullet comments of the key points on each slide

• Though your presentation will be in color, it is best to choose colors and data symbols so that they can be easily distinguished in black and white for those reviewers with hardcopies

13

Example Technical Accomplishments Slide

14

Future Work

• Explain what it is you plan to do during the rest of this year FY06 and next year FY07

• Highlight upcoming key milestones• Address how you will deal with any

decision points during that time and any remaining issues

• Explore reaction fundamentals

Nucleation and phase formation, rate-limiting steps, intermediate species, structure (Stanford, JPL, U.Ill. CMU/Pitt)

CALPHAD calculations of equilibrium pressures/phase diagrams (NIST)

• Improve kinetics using nano-engineering

Explore solution-based synthetic methods and mechanical attrition (energetic ball milling) for nanoparticle/nanocrystal formation (HRL Labs)

Measure sorption characteristics (HRL/JPL/Caltech/Stanford/Other MHCoE)

Explore kinetics phenomena unique to nanoscale (Stanford)

• Identify and optimize catalyst(s) for reversible borohydride reactions (U. Hawaii, HRL)

Other Destabilized Systems– Future Work (FY05/06) –

• The reversible system 2LiBH4 + MgH2 = 2LiH + MgB2 + 4H2(11.4 %) established.

• Analogous systems include: LiBH4 + MgX (where X = F, Cl, OH, O, S, Se, CO3, Si, etc.)

8 destabilization reactions identified and characterized (HSC modeling)

H-capacities ranging from 5.4-9.6 wt.%, T(1 bar) from -10°C to 430°C

LiBH4 + MgX

LiNH2 (LiBH4) + C (Si)

• Destabilize LiNH2 and LiBH4 using C or Si

9 destabilization reactions identified; 1 characterized using HSC modeling

Thermodynamic properties of reaction products largely unknown (modeling underway with MHCoE partners - Carnegie Mellon U., Univ. Pittsburgh)

Summary

• Summarize the key points you wish the audience and Reviewers to take away from your presentation

• For those projects that are working towards specific technical targets, include a table summarizing key FY06 technical results compared to FY05 results, and the technical targets (see example slide)

Back-up Slides (Not a template slide – for information purposes only)

• The following slides are to be included in your submission but not as part of your main presentation for evaluation purposes – you may refer to them during the Q&A period if they are helpful to you in explaining certain points.

21

Responses to Previous Year Reviewers’ Comments

• If yours is an on-going project that was reviewed last year, address 1-3 significant questions/criticisms from the previous year’s reviewers’ comments

(View Notes page for additional information)

Preparation Instructions (Not a template slide – for information purposes only)

• Do not include any proprietary or confidential information.

• Please do not use dark backgrounds as this causes difficulties when printing hardcopies for review purposes.

• Do not incorporate animation or special effects since all presentations will be saved as PDF files for presentation and for posting on the web.

28

Preparation Instructions (con’t) (Not a template slide – for information purposes only)

• If you have movie clips to show as part of your presentation, contact Rich Bechtold to arrange (see last slide).

• Poster presentations should use these instructions so that the reviewers have a common basis of comparison to the oral presentations – just bring print-outs of your slides to put on poster boards.
