Topics

The main features of the symposium focus on the development challenges and theoretical considerations in the following contexts:

  • Rechargeable batteries – electrodes and electrolytes for lithium-, lithium ion-, lithium microbattery and NiMH
  • Fuel cells- polymer electrolytes, membrane technology, bipolar plates, fuel cell processing, cell design and engineering, thin film and micro patterning technologies for micro fuel cells
  • Electrochemical capacitors- carbonaceous materials, mesoporous carbon electrodes, graphitic nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, separator materials, electrolytes, cell design, interfacial kinetics, hybrid capacitors, pseudo capacitors and other related materials.
