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

非技术描述：这个项目的目标是通过提供一个场所，第15届固态质子导体国际会议(SSPC-15)，供各级研究人员交流信息，从而推动固态质子学领域的发展。自1980年成立以来，SSPC会议一直在欧洲举行。2008年，随着会议地点改为日本京都，主办方努力使会议真正国际化。该系列现在来到了北美，更广泛的社区可以接触到这一重要的科学领域。通过将传统的质子学研究人员和新招募的人员聚集在一起，我们预计将建立新的合作，这些合作可以涉及能源科学、质子合并和运输的基础以及生物和地质系统中的质子等重要领域。除了增加目前在这一领域不活跃的研究人员的参与外，他们的目标是通过为旅费和注册费提供部分支持，以确保有代表性的参与者。技术细节：固态质子学是一个新兴领域，专注于质子通过固体材料传输的基本机制和最终应用。它涉及从电化学能源系统到生物过程和地质现象等一系列主题，鉴于能源解决方案的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，它在今天尤为重要。首届SSPC系列北美会议(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。预计将有大约150人参加，与最近几次会议的人数相当。规模相对较小(没有平行会议)和宁静的地点将有助于与会者之间的广泛讨论。将积极向相关专业协会宣布这次会议，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》杂志特刊上发表。

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.
