Synopsis

The main motivation for the organization of the Advanced Research Workshop in Belgirate was the promotion of discussions on the most recent issues and the future perspectives in the field of Solid State lonics. The location was chosen on purpose since Belgirate was the place were twenty years ago, also then under the sponsorship of NATO, the very first international meeting on this important and interdisciplinary field took place. That meeting was named "Fast Ion Transport in Solids" and gathered virtually everybody at that time having been active in any aspect of motion of ions in solids. The original Belgirate Meeting made for the first time visible the technological potential related to the phenomenon of the fast ionic transport in solids and, accordingly, the field was given the name "Solid State lonics". This field is now expanded to cover a wide range of technologies which includes chemical sensors for environmental and process control, electrochromic windows, mirrors and displays, fuel cells, high performance rechargeable batteries for stationary applications and electrotraction, chemotronics, semiconductor ionics, water electrolysis cells for hydrogen economy and other applications. The main idea for holding an anniversary meeting was that of discussing the most recent issues and the future perspectives of Solid State lonics just twenty years after it has started at the same location on the lake Maggiore in North Italy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Twenty years ago, the town of Belgirate, Italy, played host to the very first international meeting on solid state ionics (published under the title of `Fast Ion Transport in Solids'). This anniversary Advanced Research Workshop invited leading researchers and the best students to present and evaluate the present achievements and to compare them with the goals set at the first meeting. That this was admirably accomplished can be seen by reading this book.
The invited speakers covered almost all the most relevant aspects of solid states ionics, including presentations on materials and concepts for electrochemical devices, oxygen intercalation electrodes, multivalent cations in polymers and beta-aluminas, optical properties of transition metal and rare earth ions in beta aluminas, intercalation compounds and oxides, fuel cells and solid electrolytes, glasses and thin films, applications and future trends.
The students were encouraged to discuss the areas in which theory is most needed, crystalline vs non-crystalline materials, the major contributions of solid state ionics to technology, the experimental status of solid state ionics, and what would they like to understand better.
