The “2025 International Symposium on Advanced Lithium-Ion and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electrochemical Energy Storage” and the NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) Project Results Presentation were successfully held on April 16–17 at ICC Tainan. The event was co-organized by the Li-Ion Battery Research and Development Center of National University of Tainan, the Multidimensional Green Energy Materials Research Center of National Cheng Kung University, and the Advanced Battery Materials Industry Alliance. The symposium brought together leading experts and scholars from Taiwan and abroad, focusing on technological innovations and research applications in lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, and showcasing the latest developments in the field of electrochemical energy storage.

 

The organizers noted that the conference covered a wide range of topics, including solid-state, gel, and liquid-state lithium batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells. Distinguished speakers from Japan and Taiwan were invited to deliver keynote presentations.

 

Prof. Takeshi Abe from Kyoto University introduced cutting-edge research on sodium, lithium, and fluoride-ion batteries.

 

Prof. Hideya YOSHITAKE presented in-depth analysis on EV battery design and development trends, discussing everything from material innovation to system-level applications, with real-world case studies on EV dismantling and component analysis.

 

Other hot topics included advancements in solid-state and lithium-sulfur battery technology, ion transport at battery interfaces, and battery safety, sparking dynamic academic dialogue and providing attendees with valuable insights into the latest technological trends.

 

Industry representatives from Taiwan also participated, turning the event into a vital platform for industry–academia exchange. Businesses were able to gain firsthand knowledge of global R&D trends, while exploring opportunities for collaboration with research institutions. The symposium also featured oral and poster presentations by students, enabling companies to assess academic talent and facilitating industry–talent matchmaking.

 

Professor Chia-Chin Chang, Director of the Li-Ion Battery Center at National University of Tainan, remarked that the symposium and alliance have entered their 10th year, attracting over 1,000 professionals in the battery field to date. He expressed gratitude for the continued support from the industry and affirmed the organizers’ commitment to holding high-quality technical exchange events, creating more opportunities to present research outcomes and promote collaborative development in the energy storage sector.
