Symposium MM-Advances in Flexible Devices for Energy Conversion and Storage

Flexible electronics provide unique solutions toward many applications including integrated sensors, intelligent textiles, rollable displays, and flexible mobile systems, where energy generation and storage devices are essentially needed. In the past decade, there has been tremendous interest in flexible energy devices. There are still grand challenges in the fundamental research to accelerate the flexible energy device and systems closer to commercial reality, many of which are related to new materials and structures with tailored properties, novel devices with both excellent functionality and mechanical flexibility, and system-level integrations.

This new MRS symposium is intended to provide a forum for scientists and engineers working in flexible energy systems and the related fields to communicate recent progress on the current technologies and exchange the ideas about next-generation solutions. Abstracts on both fundamental and applied aspects on the modeling, synthesis and characterization of flexible energy materials (e.g. paper, textile, carbon nanotube, graphene, polymers, composites and 3D porous structures), energy conversion and storage devices (e.g. solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, thermoelectrics, piezoelectrics), fabrication and integration of flexible devices, and challenges for fully functional energy devices, and other related topics are invited.

• Theoretical modeling (e.g., strain-related effects on deviceperformance) and physical characterizations (e.g., electronic, optical,mechanical and magnetic studies) of flexible materials
• Design and synthesis of flexible materials (e.g., graphene,carbon nanotubes, paper, textile, polymers, composites and 3D porousstructures)
