Electrochemical energy storage systems, such as Li-ion batteries, are crucial for today’s world, which relies heavily on them, for portable and mobile devices. They are also key to successfully transitioning toward electric mobility and stationary systems can help bridge the gap between peaks of demand and supplies times for renewable energy.
Ceramic materials play a pivotal role in electrochemical energy storage. Advances in their synthesis, processing, and characterization can lead to breakthroughs enabling technologies, such as rechargeable solid-state batteries. This symposium will focus on ceramic materials and their applications in electrochemical energy storage. We welcome contributions on various aspects, including materials design and modeling, synthesis, characterization, processing, and the properties and performance of these materials in devices. Topics to be covered include ceramics for key components in batteries and supercapacitors, such as electrodes, electrolytes, and active functional additives. Studies on new electrochemical energy storage technologies enabled by advancements in ceramic materials development, as well as fundamental studies on the underlying mechanisms of both new and existing technologies, are welcomed.
Proposed sessions and topics of interest:
- Electrodes for batteries (e.g., Li-ion and Na-ion) and supercapacitors.
- Electrolytes for solid-state batteries (e.g., garnet, NASICON and sulfides)
- Synthesis and processing of ceramic electrodes for solid-state batteries
- Functional inactive components/additives for batteries and supercapacitors (e.g., conductive additives, reinforcements, and current collectors).
- Ab initio calculations and modeling of ceramic materials for electrochemical energy storage
- Ceramics-enabled new electrochemical energy storage technologies
