2024 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit

Symposium EN05-Electrodes for Chemical and Energy Conversion Technologies

This symposium focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of electrode materials for chemical and energy conversion technologies and aims to bring together researchers from the field of materials chemistry, electrochemistry, electrochemical synthesis, and electrocatalysis. In this symposium, we will discuss state-of-the-art electrode materials for chemical and energy conversion technologies with a focus on understanding the electron transfer reaction/mechanism at the electrode/electrolyte interface, focusing on how the choice of the electrode material impacts activity, selectivity, and operational stability. We will further discuss state-of-the-art characterization techniques to study the chemical composition of electrode materials during operation (operando and in situ measurements) as well as cover recent findings from computational studies addressing fundamental and applied questions of chemical and energy conversion technologies. Submissions of abstracts covering the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel electrode materials are encouraged!

Topics will include:

  • Materials chemistry for developing efficient electrodes for chemical and energy conversion technologies
  • Next-generation electrode materials for chemical and energy conversion technologies
  • Computational chemistry for designing efficient electrodes
  • Efficient electrode materials for electrochemical synthesis
  • Investigation of the electron transfer mechanism for chemical and energy conversion technologies
  • Operando characterization of redox-active materials
