Electrochemical cells for energy storage and conversion often contain critical raw materials (CRMs), such as cobalt in lithium-ion batteries, or iridium in polymer electrolyte water electrolyzers. The use of CRMs needs to be reduced in future device generations, and their re-use promoted, aiming at a circular economy in these energy technologies.
This year's Swiss Electrochemistry Symposium will be held again in Aarau, Switzerland. We look forward to welcoming you to the 40th Swiss Electrochemistry Symposium on April 17, 2024, for inspiring discussions, a fruitful exchange of ideas and a stimulating get-together.
