All solid-state fluoride ion batteries can be based on intercalation (e.g. La2NiO4) as well as conversion-based electrode materials (e.g., BiF3, CuF2, ZnF2, etc.) with solid electrolytes being typically tysonite-type of fluorite-type alkaline eart / rare earth fluorides (e.g. La0.9Ba0.1F2.9 or La0.6Ba0.4F2.6). If they want to compete with existing battery technologies, significant improvements in terms of cyclic stability are necessary to fully access the high specific capacities this battery concept can provide in theory.
In this contribution [1], we report the development of a high-pressure, high-temperature battery operation stand for battery cycling under inert conditions inside a glovebox. This stand was then used to investigate the effect of stack pressure on the cell performance of conversion-based as well as intercalation-based electrode materials for fluoride ion batteries. It was found that cyclic stability as well as energy efficiency is strongly increased compared to non-pressure conditions, which is assigned to sustained inter-particle contact. Thus, the cell-design must be considered carefully to be able to distinguish intrinsic material properties from percolation- and interphase-related impacts on the cell behavior. Further, the effect of pressure on the ionic conductivity of common solid fluoride ion conductors is investigated.

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.
