MagBatt V | International conference on multivalent batteries in Ulm
The 5th International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries (MagBatt V) took place from September 18 to 20, 2024 in Ulm, Germany. Again, we welcomed some of the world's top speakers on multivalent batteries. The conference program featured contributions on magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminum batteries and aimed at presenting and discussing the current progress in the post-lithium field. Multivalent batteries based on magnesium, calcium, zinc and aluminum offer an interesting alternative in terms of the amount of energy that can be delivered, safety, manufacturing and disposal costs and limited environmental impact.
Close to 100 battery experts including speakers from China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK and USA met in Ulm for three days to discuss the latest trends and developments in post-lithium batteries. The International Symposium on Magnesium Batteries (MagBatt), attracts researchers from all over the world since it’s establishment in 2016. This year’s program featured a total of 37 talks and a poster session.
