Scientific Symposium on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Ulrich Stimming, former TUM-IAS Carl von Linde Senior Fellow and Head of Physics Department E19.
The increasing worldwide demand in energy and individual mobility can only be met if electricity is generated from renewable sources, and if a complete transition in transportation to electric drivetrains is taking place. Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage is a key technology for both fields of application. Intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar require large capacities of energy storage, and therefore affordable and green battery technology. The widespread deployment of electric mobility depends on the development of batteries with better energy density, lower cost and improved safety, or on fuel cells with more active catalysts, reduced cost and enhanced lifetime. Tremendous progress has been made in these areas in the past years. The scope of this one day symposium is to review most recent developments in the areas of fuel cells and battery technologies, including redox flow batteries and aqueous metal ion batteries. Several internationally renowned speakers have been invited to give plenary presentations. In addition a poster session is planned. The symposium is jointly organized by several TUM Faculties and the TUM-IAS.
