Featured Guest Speaker
Charge Transfer Mechanisms in Ion-Conducting Materials
Dr. Vito di Noto*
Fellow of The Electrochemical Society
Professor, Section of Chemistry for the Technology (ChemTech) and INSTM, Padova Research Unit, Department of Industrial Engineering, Università degli Studi di Padova
Electrochemical energy storage systems are of major interest due to their role in the decarbonization of the energy and mobility sectors. Secondary batteries running on alkaline and alkaline-earth anodes are characterized by a high specific energy and power, and extensive cyclability. Unfortunately, the main bottleneck in the widespread use of this technology is developing suitable ion-conducting materials (ICMs) able to provide sufficient ion conductivity and appropriate chemical and electrochemical stability. An overview is provided on the results of applying broadband electrical spectroscopy (BES) technique in the study of charge transfer mechanisms of various ICMs, including: (i) hybrid and polymer electrolytes based on alkaline and alkaline-earth ions; (ii) ionic liquid-based electrolytes for multivalent metal batteries; and (iii) solid-state ceramic electrolytes for Li+ ion conduction.
