Advances in Alternative Energy Technologies
This symposium deals with recent advances in alternative energy technologies (Fuel Cells and Batteries, Photovoltaics, Hydrogen, Biofuels) having potential to displace a large fraction of our petroleum consumption. Papers dealing with fundamental chemical processes (e.g., synthetic approaches) and new materials (e.g., single crystals and polymers) as well as applied engineering aspects of these technologies will be included in the sessions.
