Lithium-sulfur batteries are envisaged to enable energy storage devices with high specific energy at low material cost. The recent research provides significant progress in terms of materials for active and passive cell components as well as on understanding of mechanisms finally leading to improved Li-S cell performance.

Solid electrolyte batteries are considered potential candidates that can overcome the disadvantages of conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms of safety and energy density. However, we are not yet seeing entry into the mass market and therefore ask ourselves: Where do solid electrolyte batteries stand today? Exchange different perspectives at our meeting and discuss where you see solid electrolyte batteries – ante portas or still as a vision?

The present time is characterized by the transformation in both the energy sector and mobility, but also geopolitical challenges and the climate crisis are current issues. The triennial EMATec conference aims to provide a platform for presenting the latest achievements in research and development and reflecting the needs of the industry. 

How do exclusive material technologies meet the world’s toughest challenges? At ISPA 2026 – the International Symposium on Piezocomposite Applications, innovators from industry and research will discuss how piezoelectric composites, acoustic polymers, and advanced fillers are shaping the future of smart materials — from orbit to ocean, and from micro-sensing to structural health monitoring.
