Symposium S.EN08-Multivalent-Based Electrochemical Energy Storage

This symposium will focus on key issues in beyond Li-ion electrochemical energy storage technologies based upon earth abundant, multivalent metals including Mg, Ca, Al, Fe, and Zn. The pressing need for both higher energy density and ultra-low cost storage devices has led to increased research effort worldwide in these alternative platforms. The materials chemistry challenges encountered are distinct from Li-ion but on familiar topics, including interfacial phenomena, reaction kinetics, solution speciation, and solid-state ion transport. Submissions that report on materials development or advances in characterization or modeling tools to reveal charge transport and reaction mechanisms and structure-property relationships in multivalent battery electrodes and electrolytes are encouraged.

All abstracts related to non-multivalent intercalation batteries, including Li-ion and Na-ion, should be submitted to the “Materials for Safe and Sustainable Electrochemical Energy Storage” symposium.

Topics will include:

Electrodeposition and alloy formation of multivalent metal anodes
Intercalation, conversion, and organic electrodes for multivalent ion storage
Multivalent cation transport in electrolytes and electrodes
Solid-electrolyte interface formation on multivalent metals
Electrochemical stability of multivalent electrolytes
Modeling and advanced characterization of charge transport and reactions
Advanced spectroscopic tools applied for multivalent ion storage
Novel chemistries and system designs
