18th International Conference on Solid State Protonic Conductors (SSPC-18)

Faststoff protonledere er en klasse funksjonelle materialer med anvendelser innen «grønn» energiteknologi. Fra 18 til 23. september 2016 ble den internasjonalt mest anerkjente vitenskapelige konferansen innen dette forskningsfeltet avholdt på Soria Moria hotell og konferansesenter. Konferansen ble arrangert av Gruppe for Fast-Stoff Elektrokjemi (FASE) ved Kjemisk institutt, Universitetet i Oslo. Konferansen hadde ca. 180 deltagere fordelt på 18 land. Det vitenskapelige programmet omfattet 76 foredrag (4 keynote, 18 inviterte og 54 «regular» presentasjoner) fordelt på 17 foredragssesjoner, samt 87 postere fordelt på 2 postersesjoner. De faglige bidragene som ble presentert er invitert til å sende inn en fullverdig vitenskapelig artikkel. Disse vil bli publisert som en spesialutgave (special issue) av Elsevier-tidsskriftet Solid State Ionics, «SSPC-18 Conference Proceedings SSI Special Issue» i løpet av sommeren 2017. Spesialutgaven følger vanlige prosedyrer i forhold til peer review.

Solid state protonic conductors are the basic functional components in technologies of which many are, and will be, essential for the development of sustainable energy technologies, e.g. fuel cells and electrolyzers. The series of international conferences on Solid Sate Protonic Conductors (SSPC) are the globally acknowledged gathering where between 150 and 200 researchers, scientists and engineers from both academia and industry meet to discuss the chemistry and physics of proton conduction - ranging from fundamental processes to cutting-edge applications. From September 18th to 23rd, 2016, the 18th international conferences on Solid Sate Protonic Conductors (SSPC-18) will be organized in Oslo by The Group for Solid State Electrochemistry at Department of Chemistry (FASE), Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology, UiO - one of the world most recognized groups in the field. The scope of SSPC-18 is centered on concentration and transport of protonic species in solids, from elementary processes to applications in electrochemical devices. Topics include materials, properties, mechanisms, computational approaches, applications. The 18th SSPC meeting will, moreover, address a special topic; exotic hydrogen species in oxides. The scientific program will consists of plenary (2-3), keynote/invited (20-30) and regular oral presentation (50-60), in addition to two poster session (80-100 posters all together). The scientific presentations will be published in an abstract booklet and ful scientific papers in a special issue of the international Elsevier journal, Solid State Ionics. The tentative total budget of the conference is well above 1500 kNOK. We apply FRINATEK for up to 250 kNOK.
