Advanced Energy Materials and Research

Batteries and Energy Materials

The formation, fabrication, textures, structures, properties, performances, and technological applications of materials and their devices for energy storage like Thermal, electrochemical, Chemical, Electrical, magnetic, and energy Storage form the theme of this venue. Materials for clean and versatile use of energy, renewable energy, energy conversion, dissipation and transport in respect to energy storage, methods and policies for developing advanced energy storage technologies are in demand. According to research firm IHS, the energy storage market is about to “explode” to annual installation size of 6GW in 2017 and over 40 GW by 2022 — from an initial base of solely 0.34 GW installed in in 2012 and 2013. For instance, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a target requiring the state’s 3 largest investor-owned utilities, aggregators, and alternative energy service suppliers to generate 1.3 GW of energy storage by 2020.
