Submissions for the Spin-off Poster & Exhibit Session remain open until August 29th 2025.

The last cycle of pre-application to mESC-School is currently in progress and will close on August 20th 2025

Venue Change
We would like to inform all participants that the venue for mESC-IS 2025 has changed to Kocaeli Congress Center ,adjacent to Seka Park within walking distance of the city center.

mESC-IS 2025

mESC-IS invites you to contribute to the 9th International Symposium on Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion which will take place in Kocaeli Congress Center on 01-04 September 2025 .

mESC-IS, was inaugurated in 2015 in Ankara and has taken place in various locations in Eastern Europe with participants from Europe, Caucuses, Middle East, Mediteranean rim, Africa , some participants from North America as well as from Eurasia at large including India, China, Korea and Japan.

As before the symposium mESC-IS will provide a forum for discussion in recent progress made in four major activity areas, namely

Batteries and supercapacitors

Next-generation Lithium-ion Batteries
All solid state batteries
Na-ion and K-ion batteries
Li-S batteries
Multivalent ion batteries
Aqueous batteries
Redox flow batteries
Electrode/electrolyte interfaces
Capacitive energy storage
systems
Second Life and Recycling of Batteries

Fuel and Electrolytic Cells

Electrolysers (Alkaline, PEM, SOEC)
Electrochemical synthesis of fuels and chemicals
Enhancing the performance of PEM fuel cells
Low and intermediate temperature SOFCs
Direct liquid fuel cells
Reversible fuel cells
Novel processing in cell & stack materials

Hydrogen for Energy Storage and Conversion

Advances in reforming processes for hydrogen production
Hydrogen production via water splitting
Novel materials for solid-state hydrogen storage
Dense membranes for hydrogen separation
Hydrogen compression utilizing metal hydrides
Electrochemical hydrogen separation and compression
Materials for hydrogen transport.

Research Methods in Batteries and Fuel Cells

Machine learning in battery and fuel cell research.
Computational material design for ES &C.
Combinatorial and high throughput approaches in ES&C
In-situ/operando techniques in battery and fuel cell research

The event, as in previous organizations, aims for a fair balance of the plenary presentations on the state-of-the-art reviews and on cross-cutting issues with in-depth parallel sessions on more specialized areas with invited and contributed papers. Poster session is central to this symposium where those who are relatively new in the field come together with those experienced for extended fruitful discussion . As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation, this year’s symposium will feature a new Spin-Off Poster and Exhibit Session. This dedicated session invites start-up companies, university spin-offs, and entrepreneurial teams to showcase their prototypes, products, or technology-driven solutions.

Abstract submission is now open and will continue till June 3oth 2025. We have made arrangements with a number of journals; International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Materials Research Bulletin and Turkish Journal of Chemistry where the submissions presented in the symposium, selected by publication committee, if desired, will be published after the due review process.

Summer school is an integral part of this symposium. It is a four day activity taking place just before the symposium . The school comprises overviews on selected topics with a view to give a future perspective plus material and electrochemical characterization techniques with hands-on experience.

Kocaeli University is in İzmit , very close to Istanbul and served by shuttle services from Sabiha Gokçen Airport , i.e.one of the two major airports serving Istanbul and the surrounding areas..
