Conference Description

The Nanomaterials for Applications in Energy Technology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

This meeting will focus on exploring the hurdles and advantages associated with nanomaterials in the field of energy. It will delve deeply into various application areas such as energy harvesting and conversion, such as photovoltaics, catalysis, triboelectric generators, salinity mix, electrocapillarity, fuel cells, etc., as well as energy storage, including batteries and supercapacitors. The conference will focus on advanced functionalities enabled by control over the nanoscale structure and properties of materials. The meeting will foster interactions among scientists from different energy disciplines. An emphasis on new and unpublished work will make this conference a premier platform for scientific exchange on the future developments of nanomaterials for energy technology.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Nanomaterials for Applications in Energy Technology" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
