The Advances in Battery Engineering, Interface Design, and Characterization (BT) Mini-Symposium will focus on the roles of thin film processing and advanced characterization in battery systems. The symposium will cover the application of thin film deposition (e.g. ALD, CVD, sputtering, evaporation) in interface design and thin film batteries, along with advanced characterization techniques related to batteries (e.g. XPS, UPS, Auger, SEM, TEM, TOF-SIMS, and EQCM).
