Clean hydrogen is a flexible energy carrier that can be produced from diverse energy sources, including renewables, nuclear, geologic, and fossil fuels (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 to produce, store, deliver, and end-use 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, as well as the fabrication/processing/manufacturing, characterization/understanding, and testing/modeling of ceramic devices for clean hydrogen. Researchers from academic institutions, 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 (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 (e.g., ceramic membrane reactors, ceramic electrochemical cells, and ceramic-based catalysts) for hydrogen from carbon-containing sources (e.g., natural gas, renewable natural gas, biomass, organic waste, etc.).
· Computation/modeling/machine learning for related ceramic materials, devices, processes, and systems for clean energy.
· Other ceramics involving materials, devices, and processes for hydrogen. |
