Prof. Simon Clarke, Department of Chemistry University of Oxford

Dear Colleagues,
it is with pleasure that we invite you to contribute to
the 19th European Conference on Solid State
Chemistry (ECSSC-19 2025) to be held in Málaga, Spain,
September 2-5 2025.
Solid state research and the topics of the ECSSC-19 2025 are a combination of chemistry, physics, crystallography and materials properties of solid functional materials wit extended structures. Systems of interest include, but are not restricted to, battery electrode and electrolyte materials, magnetic materials, semiconductors, superconductors, thermoelectric materials, photoabsorbers and photocatalysts, sensors, pigments, luminescent substances, ceramics, heterogeneous catalysts and much more. As well as describing new solid-state compounds and their properties, the conference will discuss methods of synthesis for oxides, chalcogenides and other solids, and methods of characterisation of both crystalline and disordered materials using state-of-the art techniques and computational approaches.
We look forward to seeing you in Málaga in September 2025

Simon Clarke  – Chairperson (University of Oxford)
Flaviano García Alvarado  – Organizer of 19 th ECSSC2025 (University San Pablo CEU, Madrid)
Enrique Rodríguez Castellón – co-Organizer (University of Málaga)
María de los Ángeles Gómez de la Torre co-Organizer (University of Málaga)

PROGRAMME AND CONFERENCE TOPICS

The conference will be a forum for the presentation of new
research results in the area of solid-state chemistry and also
will also bridge the gap between deep fundamental scientific
understanding and the potential for real-world applications,
so that the enormous potential of solid-state chemistry,
materials and technologies can be harnessed for future
technologies.

TOPICS

*This conference is also opened to other relevant and perspective topics
