Solid atate ionics, being a multidisciplinary area, is expected to grow at a faster rate in the new millennium, prompting the discovery of new materials and devices, as well as helping to optimize the known devices, especially the portable power sources and display systems. The Asian Society for Solid State Ionics (ASSSI) plays a significant role in bringing together researchers from the Asian countries, every two years, to exchange notes and ideas, to foster friendship and collaboration, and to discuss the prospects. The topics covered in this volume are: ion dynamics, theoretical modeling, ion-conducting polymers, gels and ceramics, glasses, crystalline materials including nano-phases, com...
Solid state ionics is concerned with the science and technology of ions in motion in the solid state. Ions in motion may also involve electrons, depending on the materials and surroundings. These days, solid state ionics is finding an increasing variety of applications. The knowledge of solid state ionics is also extensively mobilized to protect, predict or elongate the lifetime of structural materials in harsh service conditions and to improve the performance reliability of devices. Furthermore, solid state ionics is now being combined with the emerging nanotechnology to produce new knowledge and applications. This book covers the following topics: fuel cells and membranes; batteries; sensors and electrochromics; fundamentals of ionic transport and defect chemistry; cation/anion/mixed ionic electronic conductors.

Solid state ionics is a multidisciplinary scientific and industrial field dealing with ionic transport phenomena in solids. In a couple of decades, solid state ionics has become one of the largest disciplines closely related to energy technologies, such as batteries, fuel cells, and so on. So far, a large number of scientists and engineers in Asia as well as in Europe and US are engaged in the research in solid state ionics. In the context of such a situation, the Asian Society for Solid State Ionics was founded in 1986, and a series of academic conferences has been held biennially since 1988. In 2012, the 13th conference is organized in Sendai, Japan. This book provides research papers desc...
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have long offered promise of renewable and highly efficient direct chemical to electrical energy conversion, though their high cost and operating temperatures have limited commercial adoption and applications. Recently, research efforts have focused on reducing the operating temperature by thinning the fuel cell membrane, thereby eliminating the requirement of high-temperature (800∘C to 1000∘C) compatible ceramic electrodes, and allowing the use of more traditional metallic catalysts that were previously limited to lower temperature fuel cell types due to materials compatibility constraints. However, because these operating temperatures (400∘C to 600∘C)...
Among the topics of invited papers are the electrical characterization of inhomogeneous and heterogeneous systems with microstructural periodicity, impedance spectroscopy in ferromagnetic materials, the materials characterization and device performance of a CMR- ferroelectric heterostructure, and broadband dielectric spectroscopic investigations into the influence of confinement on the molecular reorientational dynamics of liquid crystals. Many papers besides the 48 selected here are expected to appear in various scientific journals. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
