Efficient renewable energy management is required for a sustainable development and the electrochemical energy storage is expected to play a key role in this process. This symposium will cover the state of developments in the field of electrochemical energy storage, with a focus on novel chemistries, advanced materials and design considerations of batteries and supercapacitors for current and future applications in transportation, commercial, electronics, aerospace, biomedical, and other promising sectors.
To reduce the dependence on conventional resources and develop a new energy landscape, renewable energy generation must be complemented by efficient energy storage systems with robust operation and at low costs. Electrochemical energy storage systems hold great promises as they operate with high efficiency, are scalable, can be implemented with various chemistries and can be based on cheap, sustainable and recyclable materials.
The intent of this symposium is to provide a forum for scientists worldwide to present the state of the art developments and discuss the strategies to improve the performance metrics, safety attributes and reduce the cost of the electrochemical energy storage systems. The discussions will cover the chemistry, materials and engineering aspects for current and emerging concepts in Lithium-ion batteries and beyond, improved capacitive energy storage, hybrid systems, but also cell design towards system level considerations.
This symposium will be also the right place to debate on horizons in multifunctional energy storage designs that go beyond the current system performances. The symposium will cover a wide range of topics relating to electrochemical energy storage science and technology including, but not limited to :.
The topics to be covered by the symposium are firmly consistent with the Electrochemica Acta Elsevier scope. The selected papers of this symposium will have the opportunity to be published in a special issue of this journal upon peer-reviewed submission open to all the symposium contributors and attendees.
