Abstract

After Nantes (France) in 2009, Poznan (Poland) in 2011, and Taormina (Italy) in 2013, the 2015 event in Montpellier, confirmed ISEE’Cap symposium as a unique opportunity to gather the most renowned international experts together with non-specialist engineers and researchers who share interest in electrochemical capacitors. As for the previous event in the series, ISEE’Cap15 was preceded by a half-day tutorial session with four lectures given by W. Sugimoto, T. Brousse, P.-L. Taberna and J. Miller on a updated state of the art in the field. The program was definitively “looking forward” oriented and also includes a specific “Young investigators” session. It covered the electrochemical double layer capacitors and pseudocapacitors, their electrode materials and storage mechanisms, the electrolytes and interfacial phenomena, the asymmetric and hybrid devices, the introduction of new concepts, new devices and new fabrication processes, the characterization techniques, in-situ and in-operando methods, the modeling of phenomena and systems, system integration and applications…
