Solid state battery with ceramic electrolyte and Li metal electrode represent next-generation energy storage device with higher energy density and improved safety characteristics compared to current Li-ion battery technology based on organic liquid electrolytes. Solid oxides are good candidates for electrolyte material because of their chemical stability which also allows convenient processing and handling. Garnet-type oxide LLZO (Li7La3Zr2O12) has the potential as an electrolyte material because of its reasonably high Li+-ion conductivity and (electro-)chemical stability. In order to achieve high performance LLZO electrolyte must be fabricated as a thin layer with dense microstructure. In this study LLZO layers were produced by scalable tape-casting method which can be easily integrated into production lines for manufacturing. Ta-doped LLZO electrolyte layers with relative density of 98% and total conductivity of 0.3 mS/cm at room temperature were obtained. The samples were tested electrochemically with Li metal electrodes after appropriate interfacial treatment to achieve good contact between Ta-doped LLZO and Li. Galvanostatic testing at 40 °C resulted in current densities up to 300 µA/cm2 for flat Ta-doped LLZO pellet samples. Higher current density values (>1 mA/cm2) are expected for multilayered samples where thin LLZO electrolyte with lowered ohmic resistance is supported by porous LLZO scaffold layers, resulting in increased interfacial surface area.
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.
