Scope
Alternative energy and wastewater treatment are highly discussed subjects in today’s society and an area of extensive research. This section will be dedicated to presenting original research on advanced materials with superior structures and functions. Applications range from electrodes in energy storage to efficient (elctro)catalysts for fuels and energy conversion, new membranes and adsorbents to exploit clean energies and efficiently deal with pollutants. The advanced materials for energy applications will cover the research related to fuel cell and microbial fuel cell, electrolyzers, primary and secondary batteries and supercapacitors. The environmental applications of advanced materials will cover water treatment, industry wastewater treatment, resource reuse of noble metals (e.g., gold, silver) from industry wastewater, and groundwater remediation.
Topics
Potential topics include advanced materials for energy and environment applications, but are not limited to:
