This symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, medicine, and engineering to discuss recent developments in materials for energy and environmental science. The design and development of advanced materials for improving the different energy conversion and storage systems as well as environmental issues will be the focus of the meeting. These topics will include: new functional materials including nanomaterials such as electrode active materials, electrolyte materials in energy storage systems, and many kinds of materials such as photocatalyst for the utilization of carbon capture, hydrogen storage, and so on; novel techniques to synthesize or treat to obtain advanced materials; new physical and chemical properties of the synthesized or treated advanced materials. This symposium will serve as a forum for researchers in the field to discuss recent advances, and how novel materials can impact emerging and existing applications. The symposium is expected to attract a diverse audience that will include scientists from academia, government, and industry.
