Keynote Address: Development and Manufacturing of Advanced Ceramics for Energy Applications

Advanced ceramics capable of conducting O², Na, Li, or electrons have broad potential across a range of technologies, ranging from metal waste recycling to energy conversion and storage systems. Lab-scale prototypes have been successfully developed and manufactured, demonstrating excellent conductivity performance. Notable examples include a bi-layer prototype of inert O²-conducting ceramic anodes used in molten salt electrolysis for upgrading titanium waste, and Na/Li-conducting thin membranes designed for next-generation batteries. These ceramic materials show strong promise for enabling high efficiency, lowering energy consumption, and enhancing sustainability across diverse applications.
