PROGRAM / SYMPOSIUM D-2

The demand for sustainable energy development is rapidly growing in the world to realize a fossil-fuel-free society. This symposium focuses on advanced chemical energy in relation to the energy conversion and storage technologies, including green hydrogen and rechargeable batteries. The goal of this symposium is the identification and furthering of cross-cutting, fundamental sciences through shared discussions on the research topics for hydrogen and batteries. Green hydrogen is a clean alternative to fossil fuels. (1) Green hydrogen-related research, such as alkaline water electrolysis (AWE), proton exchange membrane electrolysis (PEM), organic electrolysis, photocatalytic water splitting, biological hydrogen production, are all within the scope of this symposium. Batteries play a crucial role in energy storage systems. (2) This symposium also covers a wide range of research areas including lithium-ion batteries and next-generation batteries such as sodium-ion, magnesium, sulfur, metal-air, and non-ceramics solid-state batteries. Research topics will focus on improving energy density, cycling stability, safety, and cost-effectiveness, as well as advancing electrolyte design, electrode materials, and degradation mechanisms to further develop reliable and sustainable battery technologies. The session will consist of oral presentations with invited and accepted speakers. Poster presentations will also be accepted.
