This unique conference covers a broad spectrum of science and technology
of solid proton conducting materials, from scientific basics of proton dynamics
in solid media to their application for various electrochemical devices. SSPC14 will be held in the heart of downtown Kyoto, and various social events areplanned in addition to distinctive scientific programs, such as an on-going,ad-hoc discussion.
A financial support from several fund grants withvarious funding policies will be available for young researchers to encourage the participation. Some funding restrictions apply and early inquiries are recommended.
SSPC-14 will be organized so as to preserve the basic concept and conference style of previous SSPC meetings. In particular, similar to SSPC-13 held inSt. Andrews in 2006, we recognize the tremendous potential for solid state
proton conductors to revolutionize the methods of power generation. Our
focus here will be on opening up new frontiers in Solid State Protonics.
SSPC-14 will encompass both organic and inorganic materials; it will address
the materials, their properties, and their applications.
• Materials: ceramics, polymers, salts, composites• Mechanisms: theoretical, structural and spectroscopic studies• Properties: electrical and electrochemical characterisation, fusion studies,transport phenomena• Applications: fuel cells, electrolyser, electrocatalysis, electrochemical reactors
