The change in automotive industry towards electric vehicles will become one of the biggest societal transitions within the next decades. High performance batteries with long-term stability during charging and discharging, made from cheap and abundant materials are of utmost importance. To master this major challenge, control of interfaces during materials formation and operation is needed. It covers both, solid-liquid interfaces in conventional lithium-ion batteries as well as solid-solid interfaces in all-solid-state batteries.
The DECHEMA Infoday “Electrochemically active interfaces in batteries”, to be held as a Zoom conference on May 19, focuses and discusses these important aspects of interfaces:
- characterization,
- materials formation,
- anode and cathode materials functionalization,
- processing,
- all-solid-state batteries.
