The growing demand for portable devices and electric vehicles has significantly accelerated the development of lithium-ion batteries, driving innovation towards achieving higher energy density, greater power output, and enhanced safety.[1] Currently, graphite anodes, with a theoretical capacity of 372 mAh g⁻¹, are widely used but remain a limiting factor. In contrast, lithium metal anodes offer a much higher theoretical capacity of 3860 mAh g⁻¹, making them promising candidates for next-generation lithium batteries that prioritize high energy density and extended cycle life.[2] However, challenges such as the irreversible loss of lithium due to dendrite formation, whisker growth, and the generation of "dead lithium" pose significant safety risks.
To address these issues, anode-less lithium battery design has emerged as a promising alternative, offered the highest achievable energy density while mitigating safety concerns.
In this study, an ultrathin layer was deposited onto a copper foil using physic-chemical methods, enabling its use as negative electrode in a quasi-anode-less lithium metal battery configuration. Electrochemical testing in a coin cell setup demonstrated notable performance improvements compared to traditional anode-less systems. Detailed morphological and compositional analyses of the thin layer, functioning as a solid electrolyte interphase, were conducted using SEM and XPS techniques. These findings lay a robust foundation for further research, aiming to enhance stability and extend the lifespan of lithium metal batteries through practical design optimizations.[3]
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
