Experimental thermodynamics and thermal analysis have played critical roles in the characterization and interpretation of the working mechanisms of materials. Their integration with multi-scale simulation, advanced in situ structural and/or interfacial analyses, and machine learning open a series of new opportunities in the design, synthesis and production of energy-related materials. This symposium aims to highlight the new roles, recent advances, opportunities, and challenges of experimental thermodynamics and thermal analysis in energy storage, conversion, and production. The session topics include but are not limited to:
Proposed sessions and topics of interest:
- Predictive synthesis of materials under thermodynamic guidance
- Characterization of materials with new thermochemical and thermal approaches
- Thermodynamics of interfacial phenomena
- Energetics – structure – functionality relationships
- Machine learning aided material design based on thermodynamic principles
