Registration Fee (in RMB) Aims and Motivation Plenary Lectures Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful electrochemical analysis technique known for its unique capability to differentiate between electrochemical processes of various nature. On the basis of widely different time-scales, EIS allows to reveal the limiting factors in reaction mechanisms, and mass-transport processes, thereby giving insight for the optimization of electrochemical devices. Asia, especially China, Japan and Korea, is world-leading in the battery, fuel cell, and photovoltaic industries. An Asian Symposium on Impedance Spectroscopy for Electrochemical Energy Devices will facilitate the communication between the leading Asian researchers in the use of EIS in characterizing electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, as well as enhancing the cooperation between the academia and the R&D in the industry. We envision this symposium as a series meeting, taking place in China and Japan alternatively in the beginning, and expanding to a multi-national EIS conference incorporating further Asian countries in the following years.
