Symposium: Ceramics for Energy and Environment
Scope of the Symposium:
Ceramic materials enable reduced emissions and ensure efficient use of resources in many areas of energy supply and environmental technology. Distinguished properties such as ionic and mixed conductivity, electromechanical/piezoelectrics, corrosion resistance, catalytic, and photocatalytic make advanced ceramics an interesting choice for application with high requirements. The focus of our symposium is on advanced ceramics that can promote increased performance and environmentally friendly and efficient use of resources. The symposium will cover papers on technical ceramics that are key components for advanced energy and environmental technologies
Abstracts on the following subjects may be submitted:
- Advanced Ceramics and Systems for Electrochemical Conversion and Storage: fuel cells, electrolyzers, solid state batteries, etc.
- Ceramics for Solar and Thermal Conversion Technologies: thermoelectrics, photocatalysts, photovoltaics, solar-to-fuels, water splitting, etc.
- Catalytic Ceramics for Energy Conversion and Environmental Applications
- Ceramics Enabling Environmental Protection: Clean Air and Water
- Advanced Sensors for Energy and Environment Applications
- Ceramics for Electromechanical Conversion
- Advances in Mixed Ionic-Electronic Ceramics

Vincenzo Esposito Vincenzo Esposito is a Professor in “Ceramic Science and Engineering” and technology coordinator at Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Technical University of Denmark. He developed his career at Risø DTU National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, University of Florida, and at the Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN) – Brazil. His research interest is primarily on functional inorganic nano-materials and processing for emerging technologies in energy, catalysis, electromechanical, electronics, and electrochemical systems. His research profile lies at the frontiers between nanoionics, solid state chemistry and advanced materials processing. Recent highlights of his recent work are on nano-confinement of highly defective metal oxides interfaces to achieve new metastability domains, designing a new thermochemical methods to manipulate interfaces in ionotronic composites, and disclosing fast mass diffusion mechanisms in highly defective metal oxides. |
