The Centre of Advanced Materials for Integrated Energy Systems (CAM-IES) has the pleasure to host a talk by Prof. Dr. Olivier Guillon, Head of Institute, Institute of Energy and Climate Research IEK-1: Materials Synthesis and Processing at Jülich Forschungszentrum. 

ABSTRACT: The transition to a sustainable and affordable energy supply relies on the introduction of reliable, highly-efficient technologies such as fuel cells, electrolysers, and batteries. The coupling of different energy carriers (electricity and chemicals) is thus made possible over different time scales. At the core of such electrochemical devices, advanced functional ceramics can be tailored to achieve high ionic and/or electronic conductivity. Furthermore, aspects of processability and stability under operation conditions need to be considered. Examples will be given in the field of solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cells and solid-state Li and Na batteries.
