Symposium Scope & Objectives
The symposium will cover a broad range of catalytic materials, ranging from single-atom, nanoclusters, and nanoparticle catalysts. Nanoporous frameworks structures such as zeolites, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) will be covered. Special attention will be given to new synthetic approaches and advanced characterization techniques that provide insight into catalyst structure and performance. Theoretical modelling that provides understanding at the atomic and molecular levels will also be included. Furthermore, discussions will highlight cutting-edge developments in thermal, electro-, and photo-catalysis, with applications in greenhouse gas conversion, hydrocarbon transformation, green chemical production, and environmental pollution control.
