Advanced Materials for Next-Generation Energy Storage Systems

Abstract:

Materials play a critical role in the performance, safety, and sustainability of energy storage technologies. Advances in electrode, electrolyte, and separator materials are enabling higher energy density, longer cycle life, improved safety, and lower environmental impact. From lithium-ion and solid-state batteries to supercapacitors and emerging storage concepts, innovative material design and characterization are key to meeting the growing demands of renewable energy integration and electrified transport.
