Clean hydrogen is a flexible energy carrier that can be produced from a diverse mix of clean energy resources, including renewables, nuclear, and fossil resources (in conjunction with carbon capture and storage). Its unique characteristics make it a versatile tool for decarbonation to address the global climate challenge. Ceramics have been extensively used for the production, storage, delivery, and end-use of clean hydrogen. The focus of this symposium is to convene leading global experts to engage in the design, discovery, characterization, understanding, and application of ceramic materials, the fabrication/processing/manufacturing, characterization/understanding, testing/demonstration of ceramic devices, and design/modeling of ceramic involved processes/systems related to clean hydrogen. Researchers from academic, national laboratories/institutes, and industries are all invited to participate in this symposium. The ACerS Energy Materials & Systems Division sponsors this symposium.
Abstracts are solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics:
· Ceramic materials and devices for water electrolysis powered by renewable electricity and nuclear electricity (e.g., solid oxide electrolyzers) for clean hydrogen.
· Ceramic materials and devices for thermochemical water splitting (e.g., solar thermal and nuclear heat) for clean hydrogen.
· Ceramic materials and devices for hydrogen from carbon-containing sources (e.g., natural gas, renewable natural gas, biomass, organic waste, etc.) while considering safe, efficient carbon capture/storage/utilization (e.g., ceramic membrane reactors, ceramic electrochemical cells, and ceramic-based catalysts).
· Computation/modeling/machine learning for related ceramic materials, devices, processes, and systems for clean energy.
· Other ceramics involved materials, devices, and processes for clean hydrogen. |
