SYMPOSIUM 12: Electronic and Ionic Materials in Energy Storage and Conversion Systems

The continued advance of energy systems hinges on the scientifically informed innovation of key electronic and ionic materials across the entire energy storage and generation system assembly. Understanding the fundamental materials properties and dynamic, multiscale electrochemical phenomena that govern performance is key to the innovation and design of the next generation of safe, cost-effective, and high-performance energy storage and conversion systems. Abstracts are solicited that describe innovative electronic and ionic materials advances for a wide range of applications, including but not limited lithium-ion, beyond lithium-ion (e.g., sodium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, calcium), redox flow, metal-air, and solid-state batteries, solid-state fuel cells, and other emerging systems. We are interested in fundamental experimental investigations of electronic and ionic phenomena, computational modeling and predictions of materials behavior, advanced characterization techniques, and assessments of energy storage system performance.
