\nThe speaker, Professor Vincenzo Palermo<\/strong>, Director of the ISOF Bologna Institute, CNR National Research Council, illustrated the latest frontiers of battery research, with a look at the possible growth and evolution scenarios of this sector.
\nScientists are developing new alternative solutions, using sodium, sulphur or even air inside the batteries. Visionary solutions like these will perhaps contribute to solving tomorrow’s energy challenges.
\nThe conference was followed by a lively debate on the big question: will Europe be able to keep up with China and other nations that are investing heavily in battery development and production? ? In the debate, the need to better develop the supply chain from basic research to development and industrial excellence in this sector emerged from many quarters. Europe, and particularly Italy, are competitive in the first part of the chain, while other countries have been more successful in the past in turning revolutionary technologies, such as silicon-based photovoltaics or organic LEDs, into successful industries.
\nThese technological challenges require coordinated efforts at the national or European level, with research and investment programmes on a scale of at least ten years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
