From 25th to 29th of June the Institute of Solid State Physics RAS (ISSP RAS) and the Institute of Problem of Chemical Physics RAS (IPCP RAS) lead the 4th All-Russian conference “Fuel cells and power sources on their base” with international participation on the base of the Main tourists complex “Syzdal”, in the town Syzdal, Vladimir region
All-Russian conferences “Fuel cells and the power sources on their base” carry out every two years and take on the role of the place to discuss current state and perspectives of researches in the actual solid state physics and physical chemistry fields – physics of ion conductors and materials with mixed ionic-electronic conductivity. On the conference a wide range of the fundamental problems will be discussed including: the mechanism of charge transfer and redox processes at the SOFC electrodes; obtaining and studying the properties of the new materials with mixed ionic-electronic conductivity; structure and characteristics of composite elecrodes; interconnectors materials and protective coatings; impedance spectroscopy; membrane-electrode assembling construction; fuel cells fabrication technology and its characteristics; thin-film technology; development of the construction and the scalable laboratory technology of fuel cell stack manufacturing.
The attention will be focused on the issues connected with solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), and also on development of the fuel cells power source. Such industrial companies as PJSC “Gazprom”, OAK, PJSC “Kamaz”, GC Rosatom and others, are potential customers of the fuel cell power sources, assumed to be participants of the conference.
The following questions will be discussed:
- Anion conductors. Fabrication of gas tight anion conductor plates. Thin-film technologies.
