Solid State Proton Conductors 15; Santa Barbara, CA; August 15-20, 2010

非技术描述：该项目的目标是通过提供第15届固体质子导体国际会议（SSPC-15）的场地，促进固体质子领域的发展，供各级研究人员进行信息交流。自1980年成立以来，SSPC会议一直在欧洲举行。2008年，随着会议举办地迁至日本京都，组织者努力使会议真正国际化。该系列现在来到北美，更广泛的社区可以接触到这一重要的科学领域。通过将传统质子学研究人员和新成员聚集在一起，我们期望建立新的合作关系，可以解决能源科学、质子结合和传输基础以及生物和地质系统中的质子等重要领域的问题。除了增加传统上不活跃于这一领域的现有研究人员的参与外，他们的目标是通过提供部分旅费和注册费支持，确保有代表性的参与者人数。技术细节：固体质子学是一个新兴的领域，专注于质子通过固体材料输运的基本机制和最终应用。它与从电化学能源系统到生物过程和地质现象等主题相关，并且在能源解决方案日益紧迫以及固态质子学在燃料电池和电池等能源技术中的关键作用的今天尤为重要。SSPC系列的第一次北美会议（SSPC-15）将于2010年8月15日至20日在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校举行。预计约有150名与会者，与最近几次会议相当。相对较小的规模（没有平行的会议）和宁静的位置将有利于参与者之间的广泛讨论。将积极向相关专业学会通报本次会议，以确保与会者群体多样化。会议记录将在会议结束后8-9个月出版的《固态离子学》杂志的特刊上进行汇编。

NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: The goal of this project is to advance the field of solid state protonics by providing a venue, the 15th International Conference on Solid State Proton Conductors (SSPC-15), for information exchange by researchers at all levels. Since their inception in 1980, the SSPC conferences have, been held in Europe. In 2008, with a change in venue to Kyoto, Japan, the organizers made an effort to truly internationalize the conference. The series now comes to North America, and an even broader community can be exposed to this important area of science. By bringing together traditional protonics researchers and new recruits, we anticipate the creation of new collaborations that can address important areas in energy sciences, fundamentals of proton incorporation and transport, and protons in biological and geological systems. Beyond increasing participation amongst current researchers not traditionally active in this field, they aim, by providing partial support for travel and registration fees, to ensure a representative participant population.TECHNICAL DETAILS: Solid state protonics is a burgeoning field focused on the fundamental mechanisms and eventual applications of proton transport through solid materials. It has relevance to topics ranging from electrochemical energy systems to biological processes and geological phenomena, and is particularly important today given the rising urgency of energy solutions and the key role of solid state protonics in energy technologies such as fuel cells and batteries. The first North American meeting of the SSPC series (SSPC-15) will be held August 15 - 20, 2010, on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Approximately 150 participants are anticipated, comparable to previous recent meetings. The relatively small size (with no parallel sessions) and serene location will facilitate extensive discussion amongst participants. Active announcement of this conference to relevant professional societies will be used to ensure a diverse group of participants. The conference proceedings will be compiled in a special issue of the journal Solid State Ionics that will appear 8-9 months after the conference is concluded.
