Next-Generation Materials for Energy Chemistry. Faraday Discussion 176

Themes

• System integration from atomic, molecular, nano to meso scale towards optimised design of energy materials
• Design of material systems to optimizer the energy enrichment of renewable sources for photochemical, thermal-to-electric conversion, and mechanical-to-electric conversion systems
• How interfacial chemistry takes place in the energy-related processes, focusing on design principles of efficient (electro)catalysts, in-situ characterization methods and theories in energy conversion and storage
• New materials and innovations for energy applications, including new light harvesting materials/semiconductors, plasmonics-enhanced energy conversion, new catalysts for biomass conversion, and energy-related bioinspiration/biomimetic systems         Â
