Batteries are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. There are many types of batteries available, representing a multibillion-dollar industry. The state-of-the-art electrical energy storage systems are not able to meet the requirements for energy efficient use in transportation, grid, and commercial technologies. New concepts in materials design for battery technology are sought to overcome the current limitations of performance and lifetime. More critical insight is required into both material structures as well as interfacial reactions to produce next-generation electrode materials and battery cells enabling higher energy densities, high power densities, and longer cycling abilities.
This symposium explores novel energy storage materials and technologies that are critical to making the current energy storage systems more effective. In addition, abstracts are sought on supercapacitors and flexible batteries for self-powering small electronics. Abstracts are sought in fundamentals, modeling, mechanisms, materials design, screening, electrode architectures, diagnostics and materials characterization, and electrode/electrolyte interface characterization of the below session topics.
