Reliable energy storage is a key materials challenge for renewable integration, transportation electrification, grid resilience, and next-generation portable and distributed power systems. Advances in energy storage require materials that can simultaneously manage ionic and electronic transport, interfacial stability, mechanical integrity, safety, and long-term cyclability. Ceramic and electroceramic materials are increasingly important because of their ion-conducting behavior, chemical and thermal stability, structural tunability, and potential to enable safer high-energy-density storage technologies.
The goal of this symposium is to provide a focused forum for the storage-materials community to exchange new results on the design, synthesis, characterization, modeling, and application of materials for electrochemical energy storage. Emphasis will be placed on ceramic and ceramic-enabled materials for solid-state batteries, batteries across multiple chemistries, ion-conducting ceramics, and interface-controlled electrochemical phenomena. Researchers and scientists working in ceramic-based energy materials and related fields are invited to participate in this symposium sponsored by the ACerS Energy Materials & Systems Division.
Abstracts are solicited in the following topics:
Solid-state batteries, ceramic electrolytes, composite electrolytes, and solid-state ionics for safe, high-energy-density storage
Batteries across chemistries, including lithium, sodium, potassium, multivalent, metal-air, sulfur-based, and other post-lithium systems
Electrode materials, conversion and intercalation reactions, protective coatings, and active material architectures for improved capacity, rate capability, and lifetime
Electrode-electrolyte interfaces, space-charge layers, interphases, defects, microstructure, and chemo-mechanical degradation in storage materials
Advanced characterization, operando methods, multiscale modeling, machine learning, and data-driven approaches for energy storage materials and devices. |
