Abstract: Air pollution issues, especially in metropolitan cities, are another driver for a change of fossil fuel based energy technology towards renewable energy sources and the use of electric power. However, electrical power is difficult to store. This presentation gives an introduction of the amount of electrical energy that may be needed for a transition of a fossil fuel based to an electricity based society, how different renewable energy sources can contribute, and how electrical energy can be stored in general. The second part focuses more on the technology of energy storage and conversion, especially in modern batteries and fuel cells. Materials science plays an outstanding role in the development of high performance in electrochemical devices. Processing technologies and various analysis methods will be presented and discussed in this talk.
