International summer school on materials for  energy storage and conversion(mESC-IS School 2021)  is an integral part of  the symposium held with the same name ( International Symposium on Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion, mESC-IS 2021).   The summer school, will take place 10-13 September  2021 preceding   the symposium.  The summer school   will take place in virtual mode only .  

The school  follows the structure of the earlier schools (mESC-School 2015 , mESC-School 2017, and mESC-School 2019 ) and aims to bring  new comers/early researchers with those experienced in the field. The school covers the state-of-the-art reviews in selected topics plus in depth coverage of materials and electrochemical characterization techniques.

 Tentative list of topics to be covered in the school is listed below. 

Material/Electrochemical Characterization

Y.Eren Kalay(METU):In Situ Synchrotron Diffraction and Rietveld Analysis
Kahraman Keskinbora (Massachusetts Institute of Technology): FIB Techniques in Material Characterization
Alexander Karl Opitz (TU Wien): EIS for Solid Oxide Electrolysis/Fuel Cells  Research
Burak Ülgüt  (Bilkent  University): EIS  for Battery Research
