Chemical Solar Energy Carriers

This seminar will focus on the chemistry, materials science, and engineering behind devices that store solar energy by converting CO2, H2O, N2 and other abundant feedstocks into fuels and commodity chemicals. The goal of this meeting is to exchange interdisciplinary research ideas to bridge knowledge gaps in solar fuels research. The research program is organized into the following broad focus areas, and early-career researchers that are active in these areas are encouraged to apply to the seminar: Solid-liquid interface, Molecular catalysis and artificial photosynthesis, In-situ / operando spectroscopy, Reactor engineering and device design, and Computational chemistry.

This year's Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels GRS will include the 2nd annual career development forum, which will feature senior members of academia, government, and industry. The forum will provide attendees with the opportunity to ask a broad range of questions to solar fuels experts, business, and policy leaders and to build meaningful professional networks. Attendees will be encouraged to engage invited senior scientists in discussions about career paths and potential collaborations.
