We are delighted to invite papers for a new themed collection on Materials and Devices for the Energy Transition in Latin America, to be published in Materials Advances, a gold open access journal from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Guest Editors: Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira, Professor Gustavo Doubek, & Professor Hudson Zanin (UNICAMP, Brazil)
The collection will aim to gather and publish high-quality research papers, reviews, and perspectives on the latest developments in materials and devices for the energy transition in Latin America. This themed collection is aimed at a broad audience, including academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals interested in the energy transition and sustainable development in Latin America.
We welcome submissions that focus on materials, devices, and characterisation techniques including but not limited to:
- Materials for energy storage: new materials and their properties that can be used for energy storage, including batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, hydrogen evolution and storage, biomass products and other technologies.
- Solar energy: solar energy generation and conversion, including solar cells and solar thermal technologies.
- Wind energy: wind energy generation, including wind turbines and energy storage technologies.
- Bioenergy: bioenergy generation, including biofuels and biogas technologies.
- Energy efficiency: materials and devices for improving energy efficiency, including smart grids, energy-efficient buildings, and energy-efficient appliances.
- Green Hydrogen: PEM, SOFCs, Green hydrogen from (m)ethanol etc.
- Scaling up challenges: projects implementation at course and their unique challenges at different parts of LATAM.
The objectives of this themed collection are to:
– Provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings, developments, and innovations in materials and devices for the energy transition in Latin America.
– Foster collaboration and exchange of ideas among researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals working in this field in Latin America.
– Highlight the potential of materials and devices for the energy transition.
– Encourage the development and implementation of policies that support the adoption of materials and devices for the energy transition and support sustainable development in Latin America.
New submission deadline: Submit before 31st March 2024!
All submitted papers will go through the standard peer review process of Materials Advances and should meet the journal’s standard requirements as well as fit into the general scope of materials science.
