A meeting built around the cell

IMLB 2022 placed the lithium battery at the centre of a programme that moved from fundamental materials to the systems and industries that depend on them.

Materials and interfaces

New electrode and electrolyte concepts, characterised at the scale where performance is decided.

Cells and systems

How chemistry becomes a dependable cell, a pack and a storage system in the field.

Industry and minerals

Australia's resource base and the international value chain that turns minerals into batteries.

People and access

An inclusive programme for students, early career researchers, senior academics and industry.

On the edge of Darling Harbour

The International Convention Centre Sydney sits inside a waterfront precinct of restaurants, public space and hotels. The city centre, Barangaroo and the harbour are within walking distance.

The venue opened in December 2016 and was designed as an integrated convention, exhibition and entertainment centre. For IMLB 2022 it became a meeting place for battery researchers from across the world, with the harbour as the view between sessions.
