SUMMARY:TheMoSiA 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that the 19th edition of the TheMoSiA conference (formerly RCTF) will take place in Nantes\, France\, from July 6 to 10\, 2026. \nThe research areas will cover a broad spectrum of theory\, modeling\, and simulationat the atomic level\, ranging from advanced methodological innovations to practical applications\, while pushing the boundaries of the latest techniques in theoretical and computational chemistry\, materials science\, and biology. \nThe program will include 8 keynote lectures\, 13 full-length oral presentations\, 29 short oral presentations\, 12 flash presentations\, 3 sponsor sessions\, and 2 poster sessions\, so that all participants can present their research in English. Various prizes and sponsors will be featured\, and a traditional social afternoon will be organized\, all set in the eco-friendly environment of Île de Nantes (Halle 6).  \nMore information:  https://themosia2026.sciencesconf.org/

SUMMARY:Romain Berthelot Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Solid-state design of crystalline alkali-mixed layered compounds \n \nRomain BERTHELOT \nCharles Gerhardt Institute of Montpellier\, CNRS\, UM\, ENSCM\, France \nSolid-state chemists have long explored alkali transition metal layered compounds as a playground for discovering new compositions and tuning crystal structures and physical or electrochemical properties. In these materials\, cation substitution within the transition metal layers is generally facilitated by the similar ionic radii of many elements in octahedral coordination. By contrast\, modifying the interlayer space is far more constrained\, as differences in size and site symmetry hinder the incorporation of multiple alkali elements.   \nHere\, we show that these limitations can be overcome through carefully designed synthesis strategies. A range of layered oxides and sulfides is explored\, yielding new mixed-alkali compositions with two distinct cation distributions: either a disordered arrangement within a single interlayer or an ordered stacking of chemically distinct alkali layers.  \nResolving these complex structures remains a central challenge\, particularly with regard to locating alkali ions and accounting for stacking defects. To address this\, we combine complementary techniques: X-ray and neutron powder diffraction to probe long-range order\, alongside high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and solid-state NMR to access local structural environments. Density functional theory calculations further rationalize the stability of the observed arrangements.   \nTogether\, these results uncover new structural motifs in layered materials and provide guidelines for the targeted design of mixed-alkali transition metal layered compounds. \n \nContact: Romain Wernert/Thierry Brousse (ST2E)

SUMMARY:15th France-Japan Symposium on Lithium Batteries and Next Generations
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the 15th France-Japan Symposium on Lithium Batteries and Next Generations is to provide a forum for French and Japanese researchers to present and discuss recent developments related to next-generation batteries. \nThis seminar focuses on advanced lithium-ion batteries\, all-solid-state batteries\, air batteries\, sodium-ion batteries\, multivalent cation batteries\, supercapacitors\, redox flow batteries\, high-power systems\, and new electrochemical energy storage devices. Developments in positive and negative electrodes\, electrolytes\, and in situ/operando techniques will be discussed.  \nFor more information: https://fr-jp-li-batt15.sciencesconf.org/?lang=fr
