SYEM: Symposium Emerging Materials for Renewable Energy Conversion

SYEM 1: Emerging Materials for Renewable Energy Conversion

Wednesday, March 20, 2024, 09:30–13:00, H 0105

New materials and material architectures are key for future developments of energy conversion systems, such as semiconductors in photoelectrochemical cells. In developing new material platforms, the challenge is to identify promising candidates among the huge variety of possible combinations. Material discovery based on trial-and-error approaches can only explore a fraction of the available parameter space. Putting forward a path towards improved and accelerated materials discovery, the symposium is meant to highlight new approaches and recent advances both in theory and experiment. A particular topical focus will be on the synergistic combination of simulations to identify new materials, combinatorial materials discovery to screen chemical compositions, and material characterization to understand the fundamental properties of complex material architectures.
