[institut] Workshop on "Nanoporous Materials for Green Energy Conversion and Storage" (14 – 19 October 2018, Seggau Castle, Austria)

[Brana Jelenkovic]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to inform you about the 85th IUVSTA workshop on the 
“Nanoporous Materials for Green Energy Conversion and Storage”, which 
will be held at Schloss Seggau near Graz, Austria, from 14–19 October 
2018. The workshop will cover issues and challenges regarding the 
implementation of nanoporous materials for energy conversion and storage 
purposes combined with a minimal carbon footprint for the environment. 
Application areas include, but are not limited to conversion of energy 
into different forms using currently available green technologies, 
including solar cells and fuel cells, storage of highly energy-dense and 
environmental friendly gases, such as hydrogen and methane, and 
electrochemical energy storage using batteries, supercapacitors and 
hybrid technologies.
