Solid State Protonic Conductors 19
Abstract
Solid state protonics is a burgeoning field focused on the fundamental mechanisms and eventual applications of proton transport through solid materials. The subject addresses both hard (oxide, oxyanion salt) and soft (polymeric) materials and incorporates both advanced experimental techniques and computational methodologies. Applications range from electrochemical energy systems (fuel cells, hydrogen pumps, sensors) to biological processes (proton transport across biological membranes) and understanding geological phenomena (hydration of minerals and water uptake in the earthÕs crust). Given the rising urgency of energy solutions and the key role of solid state protonics in energy technologies such as fuel cells and batteries, it is essential that international meetings in which practitioners exchange results and insight occur with regularity. The 19th International Conference on Solid State Proton Conductors (SSPC-19), is as the name suggests, the 19th in a long history biannual conferences, and therefore provides an ideal venue for this information exchange. As with previous meetings, the conference proceedings will be compiled in a special issue of the journal Solid State Ionics. We request support from the ARO to increase the affordability of the meeting for through partial support of the expenses of students.
