Future strategies in electrochemical technologies for efficient energy utilisation

Energy storage is widely used in many applications in the spheres of practical life and technology uses. As we are continuing to acquire these new energy storage technologies and their utilities, there is an increased demand for the enhancement of the performance metrics of all storage devices. This includes a high life-cycle, depth of discharge improvement, conventional uses, power and energy density, a wide operating temperature range and reduced cost while improving the safety and reliability of the systems. In this conference we have invited global experts and leaders to discuss the progress and future outlook in their respective technologies of focus. The objective of the conference is to encourage the sharing of knowledge and ideas from related fields in order to promote innovation, a scientific attitude towards growth and practical development, and modelling of energy storage.
