Programme
Invited Speakers
The invited programme connected materials, measurement, systems and the industries that depend on the lithium battery.
The invited programme
IMLB meetings are built around invited talks from specialists who are shaping the field. At IMLB 2022 the invited programme sat between the plenary addresses and the poster gallery, giving the meeting a broad view of current research across materials, electrolytes, characterisation and application.
The programme was designed to move beyond a single subfield. Delegates could follow a thread from a new electrode material to the measurement that explains its behaviour, and then to the cell or system where that behaviour matters.
Invited posters: a first for IMLB
IMLB 2022 introduced invited poster presenters to the programme. Each invited poster presenter received a short oral presentation in addition to a place in the poster gallery. The format gave early career researchers and established teams a way to introduce a focused piece of work to a larger audience.
The poster call opened on 26 November 2021 and closed on 17 January 2022. Authors were notified on 7 March 2022.
Session themes
Materials and chemistry
Electrodes, electrolytes, interfaces and the chemistry that determines capacity, rate and life.
Characterisation
Diffraction, spectroscopy, imaging and in situ methods that reveal how a working cell changes.
Cells and systems
From coin cells to large storage systems, including safety, performance and lifetime.
Industry and translation
Manufacturing, minerals, supply chains and the journey from research to a product.
Who was in the room
The invited programme was attended by researchers from universities, national laboratories, research organisations and companies. The mix was deliberate: the meeting wanted conversations that crossed institutional boundaries and connected the people who make, measure and use batteries.
The confirmed invited speaker list was published in stages during the campaign. The plenary speaker record is available on the plenary speakers page. The communications archive records the campaign announcements.
