NMP-2004-3.4.2.3-2 - Materials for solid state ionics

Understanding ionic transport in solids, and in particular in nanostructured materials, is the key to many technological applications in wide temperature ranges, for instance in solid state batteries, supercapacitors, conducting membranes, electrochemical gas sensors and electroceramic devices.
The expected STREPs should focus on highly innovative multidisciplinary research to develop electrodes and electrolytes providing improved ion and/or electron transport and reactivity, in particular for microbatteries in mobile micro-systems. Developments in the field of fuel cells are excluded here.
