This symposium provided a forum for the presentation of new and exciting research of interest to the energy science, electrochemical, and materials chemistry communities. The global energy issues cover many interdisciplinary fields including carbon-free generation of energy (photovoltaics and wind), affordable energy storage for automotive traction, and scalable storage solutions for large stationary applications. New electrochemical approaches to primary extraction or recycling of critical materials, e.g., silicon for PVs, hydrogen for PEM fuel cells, etc., are also of interest. The scientific and engineering communities throughout the world have seriously faced a different paradigm since the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. The introduction of a renewable energy system linked to the electrical network will become a reality only if supported by economic principles. In parallel, reassessment of a nation’s Human Development Index will factor into the technical decision making.
