Physical Chemistry, Materials Science

General Theme: Electrochemical and Materials Technologies for Cleaner Energy and Environment Electrochemistry takes place at an interface and involves processes at multiple phases and length scales, demanding integration of knowledge and techniques of multi-disciplines. lt is fundamentally challenging and increasingly more important in broad applications related to energy and the environment. Structuring composite materials at multiple-length scales will optimise the interfacial phenomena that take place in these applications which include fuel cells, batteries, capacitors, ozone generation, green oxidation, waste degradation, and sensing. Modeling techniques such as Molecular Simulation will be needed to complement interpretation and understanding of the experimental investigations.
