Recent years have seen monumental and exciting developments in the field of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). I will talk about several exciting scientific breakthroughs that have led to a renaissance of solid state chemistry. Despite its promises, solid state batteries still face a multitude of technical hurdles before commercialization can be achieved. Amongst these challenges, none are more daunting than the ability for scale-up prototyping, specifically, enabling technology transition from the laboratory to the pilot scale. A vast majority of ASSB reports to date are still limited to form factors impractical for actual device operation. In this plenary talk, I will provide a perspective on a wide range of scalability challenges and considerations for ASSBs, including solid electrolyte design and synthesis, dry electrode processing, cell assembly for optimum interfacial control, and stack pressure considerations at the cell level. More importantly, I will discuss ways to bridge the development gap between fundamental research and applications, through partnerships and collaborations between the industry, univeristies and national laboratories.
Most of the solid state battery work presented is funded by the LG Energy Solution through the Frontier Research Laboratory (FRL) program. The part regarding the advanced characterization tool development is funded by the Office of Science, US Department of Energy.
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.
