Cluster A

Symposium A-1

Symposium A-1
Ceramics Based Energy Harvesting Materials and Devices

Scope

Based on the bilateral project (JSPS-DFG) of Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) “Energy Conversion Systems: From Materials to Devices”, we will discuss research related to energy harvesting materials and devices using ceramics, such as lead-free perovskites and glass-ceramics, is discussed. In particular, emerging photo-electro-mechanical coupling in materials and structures for multimodal energy harvesting is of interest. In this symposium, sessions about material synthesis, analytical techniques, theoretical approaches, and devices will be arranged. The aim is to deepen and expand understanding in the development of energy harvesting systems, and to promote collaborative research among related researchers.
