Electrochemical energy conversion systems like PEM fuel cells and electrolyzers play a vital role in reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and promoting renewable hydrogen to combat climate change. While significant progress has been made in the development of PGM and PGM-free catalysts for PEM fuel cell systems, studies of catalysts for oxygen and hydrogen evolution are still limited. This workshop aims to facilitate discussions on OER and HER catalysts, interfaces, and interactions across various catalytic systems that operate under both acidic and alkaline conditions. Mechanistic studies focusing on reaction mechanisms, stability and degradation investigations, and catalyst integration with other components will be of particular interest. Additionally, we will discuss the development of best practices and protocols, improved electrochemical diagnostics, and innovative physicochemical characterization methods.
IMPORTANT:
We wish to ensure an intimate workshop setting, with no more than 20 to 25 participants. If you are interested in attending, but have not received an invitation, please contact the workshop organizer before registering.
Telluride Science is about expanding the frontiers of science, exploring new ideas, and building collaborations. The workshop schedule will allow for substantial unstructured time for participants to talk and think. All participants are expected to stay for the entire duration of the workshop. Scientists are encouraged to consider bringing family or friends. Telluride offers a number of options for children's camps (including Telluride Academy, Aha School for the Arts, and Pinhead Institute). There is more information on childcare, camps, and family activities on Telluride Science's website. Feel free to contact Telluride Science's staff to help with any planning and/or coordinating care.
