Materials Characterization for the Energy Industry
Sunday, June 14, 2015, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Gaylord National Convention Center, Washington, DC
Technology Focus
Innovations throughout the energy industry – in energy generation, transmission, storage, energy harvesting – are increasingly enabled by nanosc ale structured materials. The need to characterize these materials throughout their life cycle has inspired innovations in methods and techniques. This full-day workshop provides an overview of relevant characterization methods in the morning and focuses on applications and case studies in the energy industry in the afternoon.
Who Should Attend and How Will They Benefit?
Academic and industry audience from advanced undergraduates to seasoned professionals who wish to learn about nanoscale characterization methods in general, and specifically about real-world applications in the energy industries This workshop will be relevant for scientists and engineers engaged in research and development, production, and in quality control and safety assessment.
Workshop Content - Topics will include:
The morning will provide an overview of general characterization methods including scanning probe microscopy, electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), Raman spectroscopy, optical microscopy, x-ray diffraction, particle size analysis, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy.
The afternoon will provide case studies in nanoscale characterization across all three sectors – downstream, upstream, and chemicals, in addition to examples in materials for energy storage devices, generation and energy harvesting. Specific characterization focus areas will include catalyst structure, failure analysis in metals, structure-property relationships in polymers, membrane analysis, lubricant oil performance, and geological samples among others
