2023 theme

“Electrifying all things” is key to transitioning away from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy. NGenE showcases the frontiers of fundamental electrochemistry research, this year particularly in its application in batteries, the production of hydrogen as a critical energy vector, and the conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added chemicals.
