Workshop 6: Applications of MLD in batteries and Up-scaling of MLD
Topic and theme of the workshop
Hybrid materials offer the possibility of exploiting the materials properties of both their organic and inorganic constituents, with the attractive possibility of creating altogether novel functionalities. In the form of thin films, these materials can enable breakthroughs in several technological application areas. Combining inorganic and organic building blocks on a molecular scale is challenging due to the different preparative conditions needed for forming inorganic and organic networks. An attractive method is molecular layer deposition (MLD).
The theme of this workshop is twofold:
- Applications of MLD in Li-ion battery technology, discussing functional MLD/ALD coatings for Li-ion batteries.
- Up-scaling of MLD processes and reactors, discussing topics such as throughput, cost-of-ownership and reactor concepts, and how this can be optimized for MLD
Venue
Online event – link provided by email a few days in advance.
Registration
The workshop is organized as a part of the European Training Network for Functional Hybrid Coatings by Molecular Layer Deposition (HYCOAT) and is one of the training workshops for the PhD students (Early Stage Researchers) of the HYCOAT program. ESRs are required to attend this training event and all costs are covered by the HYCOAT Network.
