Scope:

In the 21st century, we are requiered to develop science and technology that allow us to have a harmonious coexistence with the global environment. To sustain a vigorous economy, the design and development of “fuel cell materials, fuel cell device, and fuel cell systems” becomes a priority task.
In our session, we would like to provide the opportunity to share new ideas and concepts for the design and development of materials, devices and systems in the fuel cell field. We expect that a new platform for development of fuel cell materials, fuel cell devices and fuel cell systems will be generated through in deep discussion and potential collaborations among participants. The research topics in our session include, but are not limited to, fuel cell materials, fuel cell devices, fuel cell system design and we also welcome presentations on related materials such as solar cell materials, thermoelectric materials, battery materials (Li ion and other cation batteries), capacitor, catalysts (hydrogen production, and others energy and environmental applications). Furthermore, some us will be introducing the concept of “Materials Science Innovation Driven by the Development of Fuel Cell Technology”, in which a new set of ideas, experimental set-ups, and exciting experimental results are going to be adressed.Please do not hesitate in joining our session.

Topics:

• Fabrication and characterization of solid oxide fuel cells
• Fabrication and characterization of ploymer membrane fuel cells
• Fabrication and characterization of alkaline fuel cells
• Microanalysis of interface and surface of fuel cell devices
• Simulation (modeling) of defect structures or ion diffusion of fuel cell materials and devices
• Ion diffusion in grain interia and grain boundaries
• Electron charge transfer in fuel cell materials and devices
• Design of fuel cell systems
• Development of fuel cell devices or systems
• Design of materials and devices for fuel cell applications
