240th ECS Meeting Topic Close-up: Sodium and Lithium Intercalation Chemistry for Rechargeable Batteries

Symposium focus: This symposium honors Professor Claude Delmas for his outstanding contributions to understanding sodium and lithium intercalation materials for electrochemical energy storage, which led to the success of rechargeable Na-ion and Li-ion batteries.

The symposium features invited speakers from around the world, but is also open to other contributions. Young investigators including senior PhD students and early career researchers are encouraged to submit their work related to sodium and lithium electrochemistry in fundamental and applied research including: Intercalation materials/chemistry for Li-ion, Na-ion batteries; Interfacial reactions between intercalation materials and electrolytes; Electrode architectures built on fast-charging intercalation materials; Characterization and simulation of intercalation phenomena across length and time scales.

Please check the Call for Papers for more details.
