The rising demand of rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and grid storage applications sparks a lot of interest on alternatives to “standard Li-ion battery technology”. The size of these markets is so large that great efforts are currently undertaken towards using more cost-effective materials that will not run into supply and/or resource constraints. Here, sodium-ion batteries are one important option that primarily aim at realizing high energy batteries based on sodium and other abundant elements such as carbon, iron or manganese.[1] On the other hand, solid-state batteries (SSBs) are considered as promising option for electric vehicles. In these types of batteries, a solid electrolyte replaces the flammable organic liquid electrolyte, which improves safety. At the same time, SSBs might enable energy densities exceeding conventional lithium-ion technology.
This talk gives an overview on materials aspects on sodium-ion and solid-state batteries and how they compare to lithium-ion batteries. Specific examples on inorganic materials will be discussed, including high capacity metal/carbon negative electrodes[2], layered oxides of the type Na[MnxFeyTMz]O2[3], solvent co-intercalation reactions (graphite)[4] and metal sulfides (CuS, Cu3PS4, NaTixTMyS2)[5] (TM = transition metal).

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.
