Experts from Taiwan and Japan gathered at the Greater Tainan Convention Center to discuss critical technologies related to lithium batteries and hydrogen energy. The “2025 International Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electrochemical Energy Storage Seminar and National Science Council Research Project Results Presentation” took place from April 16 to 17. This event was co-hosted by the Lithium-Ion Battery Research and Development Center of National Tainan University, the Cross-Dimensional Green Energy Materials Research Center of National Cheng Kung University, and the Advanced Battery Materials Industry Alliance.
Experts and scholars from both domestic and international backgrounds convened to focus on technological innovations and research applications in lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, showcasing the latest developments in the field of electrochemical energy storage.
The conference covered a range of topics, including solid-state, gel-state, liquid-state, lithium-sulfur batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells. Several prominent scholars from Japan and Taiwan were invited to deliver keynote speeches. Professor Takeshi Abe from Kyoto University shared research directions for new sodium, lithium, and fluorine ion battery technologies. Meanwhile, Professor Hidetaka Yoshitake discussed the design and evolution trends of electric vehicle batteries, offering an in-depth analysis from material development to overall applications, and complemented his insights with case studies on electric vehicle disassembly analysis. Additionally, advancements in solid-state battery technology, new lithium-sulfur battery technologies, ionic transport at battery interfaces, and safety concerns garnered significant attention, allowing participants to engage in academic dialogues to better understand the latest trends in battery technology.
Industry representatives were also invited to participate in the seminar, making it an important platform for academic and practical exchanges. The industry not only gained insight into the latest international research and development trends but also had the opportunity to establish collaborations with academia, fostering technology translation and integration of industry and education. Moreover, students presented oral reports and posters, allowing enterprises to learn about the students’ research outcomes and professional potential, while also providing opportunities for talent matchmaking.
Professor Chia-Chin Chang, Director of the Lithium Battery Center at National Tainan University, expressed gratitude for the long-term participation and recognition from the industry, as the industry-academia alliance and seminar have now entered their tenth year, attracting over a thousand battery-related professionals. He emphasized the commitment to continue hosting high-quality technology exchange activities, providing more platforms for showcasing research results, and promoting collaboration and industry development. Professor Chang also encouraged both academic and industry representatives to make the most of this platform to deepen dialogues and collectively enhance the competitiveness of Taiwan’s energy storage technologies and industrial chain.
The seminar also scheduled booths for industry practitioners, reinforcing its role as a vital platform for academic and practical exchanges.
