2024 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Interfacial Phenomena in Energy and Sustainability

Interfacial phenomena play a critical role in developing energy systems and sustainable technologies. From energy storage, to recycling waste products and capturing CO2, interfacial chemistry and material interactions are essential to designing and optimizing these technologies. This session aims to showcase the latest advancements in interfacial phenomena, spanning from fundamental research to practical applications, that support sustainability, a cleaner environment, and energy systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: interfacial phenomena for energy storage and conversion, waste recycling and product recovery, interfacial chemistry for water purification and desalination, charge transport mechanisms at the interface between electrodes and electrolytes for CO2 capture, and characterization techniques for surfaces and interfaces in energy and environmental technologies.
