Abstract:
The transition to a sustainable, hydrogen-based economy is a critical global challenge that requires innovative solutions across various sectors. Ceramics have emerged as promising materials for enabling and advancing the hydrogen economy. However, applications like solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolyzers (SOEC) are still far from being established technologies. There is still a high demand for new ceramic materials and in-depth investigations of their physical properties. Therefore, this symposium aims to bring together leading researchers working on ceramics for hydrogen technologies.
The symposium will provide a unique platform for us to delve into the diverse applications of ceramics in the hydrogen economy, including hydrogen production, storage, and fuel cell technologies. Furthermore, alternative fuel production from hydrogen, such as ammonia and e-fuels, is the focus. This is an exciting opportunity for us to collectively contribute to the advancement of ceramics in the hydrogen economy.
