PS1.8: Towards Sustainable Energy and Environmental Protection
Session co-organisers: Richard Baker, Jose Calvino, Ferdinand Hofer
Realising the goals of sustainable development and improved environmental protection will require the design and preparation of novel materials in which the influence of synthetic methods and processing procedures on their nanostructure and atomic scale composition must be carefully controlled and understood on a fundamental level. Electron Microscopy will be central not only to providing direct proof of the success of the synthetic goals but also to elucidate correlations between structure, synthetic method, processing parameters and ultimate performance. This symposium aims to present innovative and state-of-the-art contributions in which Electron Microscopy and allied techniques are applied to the characterisation of structural and functional materials for alternative energy sources, for the control and abatement of pollution and for new, greener, industrial processes.
