This 2nd ISECM will highlight five key areas:

1) Optimal Utilization of Carbon Resources: New processes and catalyticconversion systems for efficient utilization of carbon resources (alkanes,syngas, biomass, etc.).

2) Chemical Energy Storage and Conversion: Electrochemical devices(lithium-ion battery, supercapacitor, fuel cell, etc.), and electrochemicalprocesses.

3) Solar Energy Conversion: Optoelectronic devices (solar cells,photodetectors, etc.), and photoelectrochemical devices or photocatalysis forwater splitting and carbon dioxide conversion.

4) New Energy Material Research: New synthetic approaches and novelstructured materials for energy generation, conversion, and storage.

5) Characterization, Theory and X-Research: Advanced characterizationtechniques and new theoretical models for energy chemistry, and othermultidisciplinary research.
