Extended deadline for submission of abstract: 10th June 2022.

€MRS Fall Meeting 2020 Symposium "Breakthrough zero-emissions energy storage and conversion technologies for carbon-neutrality"

Providing clean and sustainable energy remains one of the biggest contemporary challenges to limit human impact on Earth. There is a clear need to develop novel concepts and breakthrough innovations to generate energy. Yet, these innovations must rely on net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases and avoid the usage of toxic or critical raw materials.

This symposium is inspired by the H2020 FET Proactive: Emerging Paradigms and Communities call Breakthrough zero-emissions energy storage and conversion technologies for carbon-neutrality. The focus of this symposium is on breakthrough innovations in energy storage and conversion that provide clean, compact, and ultimately low-cost solutions for batteries, solar cells, fuels and beyond. Themes discussed in the symposium include:

•      Renewable fuels (including biomass upgrading, Fischer Tropsch, CO₂ conversion, etc)
•      Solar Fuels and Chemicals      
•      Solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells
•      Mechanical energy recovery and heat conversion into electricity
•      Optically controlled solar energy storage solutions
•      Operando characterisation technique applied to energy
•      Advanced materials for energy production and storage
•      Electrochemical storage

contributed talks and posters are welcome; Deadline for abstract submission is June 6th.

Prizes are awarded to two outstanding talks from Early Stage Researchers (350€ each) and to the two best posters (150€ each)
