About the IMLB

A global forum for advances in lithium battery science, technology, and next-generation energy storage.

The IMLB 2026 Scientific and Organizing Committees are pleased to invite you to the 23rd International Meeting on Lithium Batteries in Montréal, Canada from June 14 to 19, 2026.

IMLB 2026 is the premier international conference on the state of lithium battery science and technology, as well as current and future applications in transportation, commercial, aerospace, biomedical, and other promising sectors. Convening in Montréal, the conference is expected to draw around 2,000 experts, researchers, and company representatives involved in the lithium battery field.

This international meeting will provide an exciting forum to discuss recent progress in advanced lithium batteries for energy storage and conversion. The program will focus on both basic and applied research findings that have led to improved Li battery materials and to a deeper understanding of the fundamental processes that determine and control electrochemical performance. A major (but not exclusive) theme of the meeting will address recent advances in beyond lithium-ion technologies, covering a wide range of topics in lithium battery science and technology.

Topics include

  • General and national projects
  • Anodes and cathodes
  • Nanostructured materials for lithium batteries
  • Liquid electrolytes and ionic liquids
  • Polymer, gel, and solid electrolytes
  • Issues related to supply chain of materials for Li batteries
  • Li battery recycling
  • Electrode/electrolyte interface
  • Safety, reliability, cell design and engineering
  • Monitoring, control and validation systems
  • Battery manufacturing
  • Primary and rechargeable Li cells
  • Industrial production and development for HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs
  • Latest developments in Li battery technology
  • Beyond Li ion: Li–sulfur, Li–air, Na–ion, Mg–ion, K–ion, flow battery
  • Li metal
