| Scope |
Affordable, reliable and clean energy sources are essential for the sustainable development of modern societies. Advancements in clean energy technologies and infrastructures are needed, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and a cleaner and stronger power grid to serve the needs of the decades to come. These energy services rely on developing advanced materials for energy storage, conversion, harvesting, transmission, and utilization, as well as their integration into complex systems.
The focus of this symposium is to convene leading global experts to engage in ceramic technology-centered dialogues to address critical issues in the design, understanding and development of energy materials and their applications for sustainable development. Researchers/scientists in ceramic-based energy materials and related fields are invited to participate in this symposium. This symposium is sponsored by the ACerS Energy Materials & Systems Division.
Abstracts are solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Materials for solid-state energy conversion and coupled transport phenomena (thermoelectric, thermionic, piezoelectric, electrostrictive, pyroelectric, ferroelectric, charge-heat-mechanical coupling)
- Solid-state refrigeration and advanced cooling technologies (Peltier and Thomson cooling, thermomagnetic cooling, caloric materials, chip-level cooling, electronic thermal management)
- Advanced thermal management and heat rejection materials (high thermal conductivity ceramics, radiators, heat exchangers, heat spreaders, thermal barrier coatings, phonon engineering)
- Materials for energy storage (solid-state ionics, batteries across all chemistries, supercapacitors)
- Energy-efficient power electronics (related to battery-integrated or grid-level storage systems)
