Workshop: Advances in Disruptive Materials for Electrolysers and Fuel Cells in Green Hydrogen Technologies>

Scope of the Workshop

The workshop aims to bring together scientists engaged in the development of disruptive materials for fuel cells and electrolysers, with a particular focus on the synthesis and design of novel materials, as well as their advanced characterization and electrochemical behavior. As hydrogen technologies become central to the global energy transition, significant efforts are being directed toward creating high-performance materials while reducing dependence on scarce or unsustainable resources., and significant efforts are being directed towards developing high-performance materials while reducing reliance on unsustainable materials and resources.

Achieving this goal requires a deep and comprehensive understanding of the material structure, electrocatalytic activity, ionic transport mechanisms, and degradation processes under operating conditions. This knowledge is key to enabling the rational design of materials with improved performance and long-term stability. Recent progresses in materials engineering and advanced characterization allow for the emergence of highly efficient, durable, and sustainable materials that are key to advancing green hydrogen technologies.

This workshop will offer a unique opportunity to present a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in disruptive materials for fuel cells and electrolysers, encompassing both low and high temperatures systems, electrocatalysts, electrodes, membranes, and modelling, covering the entire pathway from fundamental research to industrial-scale implementation. It will also provide a forum to discuss recent advances in the field, identify current limitations and challenges, and explore prospects for future developments.
