Dear Guests
One of the challenges in electricity generation scenarios with a large share of inherently intermittent sources, such as wind and solar power, is the storage of energy over long periods of time. Especially here in Europe, a large surplus of electricity is expected in summer, whereas periods of low electricity supply in winter have to be adequately bridged.
The seven distinguished speakers of this year’s Swiss Electrochemistry Symposium will take us on a journey to the science and technology of electrochemical devices in the context of seasonal energy storage.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 36th Swiss Electrochemistry Symposium on September 16, 2020, held as Webinar – join in via Zoom.
*Paul Scherrer Institut’s Electrochemistry Laboratory is the major institution of its kind in Switzerland. Our main research and development interests are directed to-wards energy conversion and storage at a technical scale (mobile, stationary, and portable applications of electrochemical systems), including many fundamental as-pects of atomic and molecular electrochemistry.
