The International Battery Association goes online
This year’s edition of the IBA Annual Meeting will take place in the Xiamen Millennium Harborview Hotel, in Xiamen, China, but it can also be attended online, in a hybrid model that allows attendants from all over the world to participate in the event under the current COVID-19 travel restrictions.
More than 60 speakers are already confirmed to give talks in this event, including M. Rosa Palacín, who will be giving a talk on Calcium based batteries, the lessons learnt and the challenges ahead.
The event will have a particular focus on the core technologies and key issues affecting research on secondary batteries, fuel cells, new electrochemical energy systems, and many others. There will also be an in-depth discussion regarding electrolyte materials, solid-state batteries, battery materials interface, high energy battery, the next generation batteries, and automotive battery safety issues that draw the public attention of battery industries.
