WS.VII ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND NANOSCIENCES: A POWERFUL SYNERGY FOR THE SUSTAINABLE PROGRESS IN ENERGY STORAGE AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING September 22
*Co-organized with:*

WORKSHOP COMMITTEE: Margherita MORENO, ENEA (Coordinator) Danilo DINI, Sapienza University of Rome Alessandra DI BLASI, CNR-ITAE Omar PEREGO, RSE
Recently the Electrochemical Science revealed to be central in the ambits of energy transition, sustainability, circularity and decarbonisation through various research activities: electric energy production (electrochemical and fuel cells), storage (batteries), surface processing (electroplating) and sensing/imaging of the electrochemical activity of surfaces. The most important developments in such areas are consequential to the progresses in the science of the nanomaterials. For this reason it appears appropriated to dedicate a topical session on electrochemistry at NANOINNOVATION, which focuses on the aspects of energetics and industrial processing considering the most recent developments in nanosciences. In this context the electrochemical storage represents one of the key technologies to enable the energy transition process for the progressive detachment from an economy based on fossil fuels in favor of an energy mix of renewable energies. R&D activities in the development of innovative storage systems, both for stationary applications and for electro-mobility, play a key role towards the increase of the use and penetration of renewable sources in the country's energy system. The study, the optimization and the characterization (both experimental and theoretical) of innovative and frontier materials for battery components play a fundamental role for the development of batteries of the future (new chemistries) and for increasingly sustainable and secure. The European Commission has launched a series of initiatives to strengthen the European value chain of batteries, with a view to greater competitiveness and independence from dominant foreign markets. These initiatives aim to cover all levels of technology maturity with the final aim of building new European battery giga-factories.
