Topical Symposium 2
Renewable energy production, industrial decarbonization, and pollution reduction are gaining attention as essential to address contemporary challenges for a sustainable future. This session seeks to establish a collaborative environment for researchers to present and share recent advancements in energy harvesting technologies and their applications, fostering a more sustainable tomorrow. It is specifically devoted to discussing materials and devices developed for various forms of energy conversion, including thermoelectric, (photo)electrochemical, and mechanical energy conversion, and further to self-generating sensors or wearable technology. It includes the direct conversion from natural energy sources to electricity or the conversion from natural energy sources to fuels later used in other technology (e-/solar fuel generation). It encompasses both theoretical and experimental research pertaining to the design and processing of these systems. We welcome contributions for the following topic:
- Thermoelectric/Photo(electro)catalytic technology and power generation.
- Triboelectric/Piezoelectric nanogenerators.
- Self-generating sensors and self-generating wearable technology.
