Materials for Energy Applications

Energy and sustainability are currently driving science and technology. Concerns on environment and the source of fossil fuel driven researchers to explore technological solutions with alternative forms of energy resource and storing. New materials and material assemblies are the core of this research undertaking. Fuel cells are used in the generation of materials energy. The development and discovery of new materials is intimately connected for the search of cleaner, smaller, cheaper and more efficient energy technologies.

The basic vision of Materials for Energy Applications is to enable a changeover to energy system and to create world-recognized assistances in the field of energy applications by fundamental materials research. Biopolymers occur in nature, carbohydrates and proteins are the examples of biopolymers. Organ Implants are used for the transplantation of organs in humans. The profile supports interactions between resources for harvesting, passage and storage, and transformation of energy, and strives to reduce the distance between research and submissions. The Materials for Energy Applications profile comprises many prominent research leaders that are at the research front of their corresponding fields. The terms like bio polymeric materials and organ implants also comes under the category of materials for energy applications. Bio mineralization is defined as the creation of inorganic materials with complex form in all groups of organisms from prokaryotes.
