Materials for sustainable energy and sensing
JNAnoMaterials for Energy applications
This symposium addresses nanomaterials and nano-architectured systems tailored for energy harvesting, conversion, and management in next-generation devices.
Scope:
The development of nanostructured materials for energy harvesting, conversion, storage, and management is a rapidly growing research area, driven by the need for sustainable and high-efficiency solutions. At the nanoscale, unique physical properties emerge due to confinement effects, interfacial phenomena, and quantum interactions, offering new opportunities for controlling charge, heat, and mass transport.
This symposium will explore how nanomaterials, hybrid structures, and nano-architectured systems can enhance energy-related functionalities. A fundamental challenge is to understand the mechanisms governing energy transport and dissipation while simultaneously addressing scalability, reliability, and environmental impact.
We welcome contributions covering theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches to the design, synthesis, and characterization of materials with optimized energy properties. Special attention will be given to multiscale modeling, in-operando and in-situ characterization, and innovative synthetic strategies enabling precise control over nanostructure morphology and interfaces.
By fostering interactions between physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers, this symposium aims to create an interdisciplinary platform for discussing the latest advances, identifying key challenges, and defining future research directions in nano-engineered energy materials.
Participation of early-career researchers will be strongly encouraged to promote knowledge transfer and establish new collaborative networks for the next generation of sustainable energy technologies.
