Fuel cells and electrolysis are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy or vice versa. There are many types of such devices available, corresponding to a multi-billion dollar industry. However, the cutting edge technologies about fuel cell and electrolysis systems do not fully satisfy the requirements for effective utilization in transportation, grid and commercial technologies, although the systems keep pursuing new concepts in materials design to overcome the current limitations of performance and lifetime. In this regard, Efforts for addressing such crucial limitations are needed and the development of new and advanced material structures including interfacial reactions to produce next-generation electrode and membrane materials is required, while new solutions on fuel cells and electrolysis enabling high power densities and longer stabilities should be suggested. This symposium will explore novel energy convergence materials and technologies that are critical in making the current fuel cell and electrolysis systems more effective in the future. In addition, we also strongly welcome abstracts on other fuel cell and electrolysis related materials, systems, applications and computational evaluations.
