1st information letter

Dear colleagues!

From 17th to 21th of June the Institute of Solid State Physics RAS (ISSP RAS) and the Institute of Problem of Chemical Physics RAS (IPCP RAS) will lead the 5th All-Russian conference “Fuel cells and Power Plants based on them” with international participation and 2nd School for young scientists "Modern aspects of high efficient fuel cells and power sources based on them"on the base of the Main tourists complex “Syzdal”, in the town Syzdal, Vladimir region


All-Russian conferences “Fuel cells and Power Plants based on them” 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 industrials companies as AVL (Austria), PJSC “Gazprom”, OAK, PJSC “Kamaz”, GC Rosatom and etc. are assumed to be participants of the conference.

The following questions will be discussed:
  • Anion conductors. Fabrication of gas-tight anion conductors. Thin-film technologies.
  • Cathod materials for SOFC. Synthesis and properties. New materials with mixed anion-electronic conductivity. Investigations of O2-anions self-diffusion in materials with anion-electronic conductivity.
  • Anode materials for SOFC. Structure and properties of composite anodes. Sulfur-tolerant anodes..
  • Mechanisms of charge transfer and redox proccesses on the SOFC's electrodes. Studying of degradation mechanism and methods for improving operation time.
