We are looking forward to your contribution to session 16.01.13!! (same as 05.01.17)

Physics and effects on transport of ion-ion correlation in electrolyte materials (DCOMP, DCP, DMP).

This focus session is motivated by the surge of interest over the last five years in concentrated electrolyte materials for high-energy and high-capacity batteries. As part of the strategy to increase the battery power density and safety, materials composed of high concentrations of alkali-salt in ionic liquids and solid amorphous polymers are increasingly seen as attractive candidates to replace conventional organic electrolytes. Important technological parameters such as charge/discharge rates and efficiency of the whole battery are controlled and underpinned by the electrolyte transport properties, namely ionic conductivity and transference number. The ionic nature and high concentrations at play clearly point at the adoption of rigorous concentrated solution theory for both experimental and computational efforts dedicated at understanding the complex transport dynamics in such materials. The past year has seen a tremendous increase in interest around correlated ionic transport properties, and new effects like a negative transference number have been uncovered. Contributions to this focus session will include both computational and experimental investigations of correlated ionic transport in electrolyte materials.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions to the organizing committee!
