Solid state ionics 2

Abstract

The first part of this proceedings volume deals with application of solid state ionics. Potential application of solid state batteries and fuel cells, sensors, electrochromic windows, and displays are presented. The second part of the Proceedings volume deals with new advances in the theory of solid state ionics. Several approaches such as molecular dynamic relaxation phenomena in solids and ab-initio methods are presented. The third section of the Proceedings volume deals with polymeric electrolytes. Several key issues such as ion-ion and ion polymer interaction and nature of the polymer electrolytes are presented. The polymer dynamics and mechanism of ion transport in polymer electrolytes are discussed. The fourth part of the book deals with mixed conductors and insertion compounds. Physics and chemistry of mixed conductors and their electrochemical properties are presented. The fifth part of the book deals with the general aspects of materials and techniques in solid state ionics. Several new materials with unique properties are presented. Materials processing and fabrication are discussed. Fundamentals of defect chemistry and structure of several glasses are presented. Several in-situ and ex-situ techniques for materials characterization are presented.
