Workshop Details
Platinum Group Metal and Platinum Group Metal-free Electrocatalysts: from electrified interfaces, through catalysts/ionomer interactions, to catalyst layer design
03/09/2026 - 03/13/2026
Meeting Description:

Electrochemical energy conversion systems like fuel cells and electrolyzers, along with emerging CO2 capture and electrosynthesis reactors all depend on integration of complex PGM and PGM-free catalysts in heterogeneous and multi-phase structures – catalyst layers. This workshop aims to facilitate discussions on the (i) interplay between the structure of electrified interfaces and catalysts activity and selectivity, (ii) the role of electrolyte and the electric double layer on catalyst performance, (iii) catalyst integration in devices and the issues arising from their surface properties, shapes and morphology, (iv) complex transport issues and management of reactant and product streams.

Notes:

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.
