Symposium ET01-Solid-State Batteries—Materials, Interfaces and Performance

Solid-state batteries are emerging as attractive solution to provide safe energy storage solution for a range of technologies, including consumer electronics, electric vehicle and renewable energies. However, there are still grand challenges in fundamental research and understanding to accelerate solid state energy storage besides liquid-based systems and beyond thin film batteries toward commercial reality, which include new materials and structures with high ionic conductivity, tailored mixed electron/ion conductivity, novel interface engineering methodologies, new device concepts, efficient and scalable techniques for materials and battery processing, and system-level integrations. This new MRS symposium is intended to provide a forum for scientists and engineers working in solid state batteries and in solid state electrochemistry, from materials, characterizations, devices and system integrations to communicate recent progress on current all-solid-state batteries technologies and to exchange ideas about next-generation solutions.

Topics will include:

Solid state electrolytes: oxides, sulfides, polymers, hybrids
Charge and mass transport at interfaces
Nanoionics
Advanced solid state batteries and new device concepts (3D structures, flexible solid state batteries)
Battery failure mechanism in solid state batteries
Solid state battery diagnostics (Neutron, X-ray, TEM, Raman)
Solid state batteries for electronics, electric vehicle and grid storage
Low cost materials, manufacturing and process approaches
Modeling and simulation of devices from atomic to device scale
