CO₂ valorization and Hydrogen Technologies for a Sustainable Future
Co-organized with Polytechnic University of Turin Chair: Angelica CHIODONI, IIT
As climate challenges become more pressing, it’s crucial to find solutions that reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for generating electricity and producing chemicals. Electrochemical methods offer a promising pathway, especially in key areas such as CO2 reduction to create valuable products, electrolyzers for hydrogen production, and fuel cells that convert hydrogen's chemical energy into electricity. This symposium is dedicated to showcasing innovative research by young scientists who are pushing the boundaries of these critical areas. The symposium will focus on recent advancements in hydrogen technologies, exploring breakthroughs in production and utilization. Key topics will include developments in electrolyzers and fuel cells, which are essential for facilitating the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Additionally, the symposium will cover the electrochemical processes involved in CO2 valorization, highlighting novel methods for converting CO2 into valuable products. Emphasis will be placed on the development of high-performance electrocatalysts, which are crucial for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of these processes. Furthermore, the symposium will provide a comprehensive examination of the entire process, from the synthesis of materials and reaction mechanisms to the realization of functional cells. Designed to offer a platform for emerging researchers, the symposium provides an opportunity for them to present their pioneering work and engage in discussions with established experts. This interactive environment aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, stimulate new ideas, and support the advancement of sustainable energy solutions.
