Materials Electrochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications

January 13-15, 2018
InterContinental Shenzhen, Shenzhen,China

The electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies are promising routes to transform our society from its current heavy reliance on fossil fuels towards a sustainable power supply for the future. At the heart of this transition is to develop a disruptive materials solution together with fundamental understanding of the underlying electrochemistry. This conference is intended to review the current research progress and discuss the challenges in advanced rechargeable batteries, fuel cells and electrocatalysis systems, to advocate a strong coupling between fundamental electrochemistry and materials science for energy applications, and to forge partnerships between industry and academia.
