Petite XIII is the thirteenth installment in a long-standing international workshop series dedicated to the defect-chemical nature of solids, particularly ionic and electrochemically active materials. The workshop explores how point defects, defect interactions, and ion mobility influence material properties and performance in real-world applications.
Held in the scenic town of Bad Aibling, Germany, the workshop offers a focused, discussion-rich environment designed to encourage collaboration across experimental and theoretical disciplines.
Key Topics
Defect formation in ionic solids
Ion transport and mobility mechanisms
Defect interactions and ordering phenomena
Experimental and computational approaches
Impact of defects on electrochemical performance
Applications in energy materials, fuel cells, batteries, and sensors
Format & Atmosphere
With its intentionally small scale (“petite”), this workshop enables in-depth scientific exchange, extended discussions, and networking among top researchers from across the globe.
