Premiere of the Online Symposium “Lithium Metal Anodes and their Application in Batteries”
On the 9th and 10th of February 2022, the online symposium “Lithium Metal Anodes and their Application in Batteries” will take place for the first time. Organised by MEET Battery Research Center of the University of Münster and the Center for Materials Research of the Justus Liebig University Giessen, the event will give scientists exclusive insights into Lithium|Electrolyte interfaces and interphases, lithium surface modifications as well as the design of lithium anodes.
Due to its high specific capacity and low electrochemical potential lithium metal constitutes an excellent anode material for future battery applications. Especially for all-solid-state batteries lithium metal anodes are a key requirement to meet the demand for high power and energy density. However, severe challenges hinder the successful implementation of lithium metal in many battery applications so far.
International Top Speakers
At the online symposium, renowned keynote speakers will not only present these challenges, but also innovative approaches to overcome them.
- Prof. Dr Eric D. Wachsman, University of Maryland, USA
- Prof. Dr Shirley Meng, University of California in San Diego, USA
- Prof. Dr Kelsey Hatzell, Princeton University, USA
- Prof. Dr Robert Dominko, National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia
- Prof. Dr Linda Nazar, University of Waterloo, Canada
- Prof. Dr Matthew T. McDowell, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
- Prof. Dr Qiang Zhang, Tsinghua University, China
- Dr Venkat Srinivasan, Argonne National Laboratory, USA
Registration Open
The symposium in English language is free of charge, registration is required here. The event will take place from 2:00 to 6:30 pm (CET) each day. In addition to MEET Battery Research Center and the Center for Materials Research, the Helmholtz Institute Münster of Forschungszentrum Jülich as well as the two competence clusters FestBatt (Cluster of Competence for Solid-state Batteries) and ExcellBattMat (Cluster of Competence for Battery Materials), which are part of the umbrella concept for battery research of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, are participating in the symposium.
