Polymeric materials are critical to our new energy future and enable many of the technologies needed to combat climate change. This conference has had great success as the premier conference bringing together the polymer, membrane, and electrochemical device communities. Our objective is to engage a broad spectrum of the polymer community in meeting the needs of new types of energy technologies such as fuel cells, electrolyzers, and advanced batteries. Scheduled talks include the vision of the funding agencies and industry to provide perspective followed by talks from leading researchers in ion-conducting electrolyte synthesis, characterization, processing, and applications. In 2022, the workshop maintained our historical key focus on polymer membranes for fuel cells but broadened our interests to include anion exchange membranes, lithium and flow battery membranes, water electrolysis membranes, hydrogen electrolysis membranes, photoelectrochemical cell membranes, and related areas. There was renewed excitement in a number of areas, including the Department of Energy’s focus on hydrogen and now, an overall increase in interest in heavy duty vehicles and aviation. Many of the challenges in these related areas are the development of new polymers for membranes, structure and morphology investigations, structure-property relationships and effects on ionic conductivity, durability, and lifetime studies. These polymer membrane interests are common among researchers and the conference will look to continue to build overlaps and synergies across the efforts to find new polymer membranes with improved properties and performance.
