Symposium 5

Electrochemistry of New Materials and Novel Microstructures for Sustainable Development

Sponsoring Division: Division 4, Electrochemical Materials Science
This symposium will build upon the convergence between synthesis of new materials and nanostructured architectures aimed towards sustainable technological development of energy resources as well exploring new opportunities in the design and manufacture of microelectronic, magnetic and MEMS devices.

The symposium will focus on:

• A. Surface engineered, patterned materials
  - Self-organized 2D or 3D structuring and pattern formation via dissolution or deposition approaches
• B. Elecrochemical aspects of solar materials and devices
  - Synthesis or processing of solar materials (silicon, CuInSe2, GaAs, CdTe, inorganic ETA cells, dye cells, organic solar cells)
• C. Electrochemical approaches for new materials
  - Nano composites by electrodeposition (magnetic materials; functional coatings, biomimicking materials and devices)
• D. Conducting polymers
  - Electrochemical properties and electrochemical applications
