Innovative Materials and Cell Design, Processing and Manufacturing Strategies for Solid-State Batteries

MRS Advances is accepting full-paper submissions on Energy and Environment topics related to the symposium topic Innovative Materials and Cell Design, Processing and Manufacturing Strategies for Solid-State Batteries from the 2020 MRS Spring/Fall Meeting. Submissions, the review process, and the final decision are not contingent on presentation at the meeting itself. MRS Advances publishes short papers that provide a “snapshot” of an advance within the field of materials research. Such work may include important early indications from a research project that has not yet reached a conclusion, or related results that are significant but not central to the goal of the project. The scientific methods and logic should be rigorous, technically sound, and of interest to other specialists in the area of research. Of particular interest are topics in Innovative Materials and Cell Design, Processing and Manufacturing Strategies for Solid-State Batteries: • Solid-state ionic conductors for Li, Na, and emerging batteries • Solid electrolyte-electrode interfaces • Interface protection in solid-state batteries • New solid-state cell designs • Processing of solid-state cell components (ceramics, polymers, and composites) • Interfacial reactions in solid-state batteries: modeling and characterization
