The First Announcement 

　　“The Second International Forum on Cathode & Anode Materials for Advanced Batteries” was successfully held on April 22-24,2015, which there were more than 700 participants joining and the Forum and for the first time the implementation of the posters and outstanding youth poster papers awards were organized by China Industrial Association of Power Sources (CIAPS). After the Forum, CIAPS has received a lot of highly comments on the Forum, from those participants from domestic and abroad, since then. 

　　Based on the decision made by the Director board of CIAPS, a bi-annual conference for battery materials shall be held in the year when CIBF is not held. We now formally announce to prepare “The Third International Forum on Cathode and Anode Materials for Advanced Batteries”, which will be held on April 13-14, 2017 (Registration date: April 12, 2017) 

　　At present, we would make our first announcement to let all specialists, scientists, professors, technical staffs and Ph.D/Mater students in battery related fields as well as battery material & equipment suppliers, etc. from domestic or/and abroad paying much attention to the Forum that you can early make your 2017 schedule for attending such a Forum. 

　　Among those, we would expect that you or/and your organizations could submit or/and recommend some high level papers which show significant innovation achievements, in the early next year; prepare to join our sponsorship or direct apply a booth and prepare all related matters, such as travel & meeting expenses, etc. for attending the Forum.  

　　CIAPS organized The International Conference on the Frontier of Advanced Batteries, CIBF2016 (May 20-22, Shenzhen, China) and The second HEV Market & Advanced Battery Technology Development Seminar (Oct. 13-14, Hangzhou, China), respectively. Obviously, Lithium ion battery market shows the fast expansion in recent years, globally. In particularly, not only IT battery market is still growing strongly, but xEV & BESS battery market is growing steadily. Among those, China's electric vehicle market is the sudden emergence of dominance. Published data show that whole sales of new energy vehicles reached 330 hundred sets and sales of Li ion batteries for EV & PHEV and for energy storage applications reached 32 billion & 2.5 billion Chinese Yuan, respectively in 2015, based on strong encouraging policies supported by Chinese government. Furthermore, there were totally production of 320 hundred sets new energy vehicles in the first 9 months, 2017 and is 93% increase than that in the same period of 2015. In correspondence of this, battery technology improvement and innovation are still in the progress. In particularly, due to progress of some key material R & D and mass production, such as LCO operated at a higher voltage; high content Ni NMC and NCA and Si/C based negative material, etc. as well as application of some special functionary materials, such as graphene, modified conductive carbon, new type of binder, etc.  

　　Year of 2016 is stating year of the 13th five Chinese national plan, many new national projects or programs are set & carried on at present, based on implementation request of Chinesere lated Chinese government agencies, such as Ministry of Science & Technology, Ministry of Information Industry, The national development and reform commission, etc. Among those, as a major common key technology, contents of Li ion battery with high safe & high specific energy includes R & D of higher specific capacity cathode materials, C/alloy type of negative materials, high safe separator materials and functional electrolyte materials, etc. that can be used for developing advanced battery with specific energy of 300Wh/kg, cycle life of 1500 times, cost down to 0.8 Chinese Yuan/Wh and safety meeting national standard. Besides, manufacturing capability shall reach 100 million PCs/year. Obviously from above, R & D of cathode & anode materials with high performance & low cost are key factors.  

　　Furthermore, for R & D of Li air, Li/S with target of 500 Wh/kg and Na ion battery system with low cost, the cathode & anode materials (including active materials & functional additive materials both) shall be as a key technology to be developed. In order to promote & speed up battery technology & battery Industry innovation & fast development to meet next generation battery request of IT, EV and BESS, CIAPS decide to organize “The Third International Forum on Cathode & Anode Materials for Advanced Batteries” on April 12-13, 2017 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China and the Forum will be arranged accordingly as below:
