The main topic of this meeting was “Sol-Gel, Nanomaterials and Energy”. This meeting brought together field experts leading to a state-of-the-art on smooth chemistry and the new technologies for Energy, highlighting the issues, challenges and research current and future routes. The various topics of low impact renewable energy were discussed: PEMFC and SOFC, , solar cells, wind-borne energy, batteries and supercapacitors, energy efficiency…
Several leading scientists and industrials have agreed to participate through tutorial talks (*). The third day was open to non-thematic sol-gel topics (coatings, ferroelectric materials…).
This 2010 edition has been supported by the International sol-gel Society (www.isgs.org), the CEA, the Regional Council.
Information on the symposium are still available on the website www.solgel.fr (in French) including the extended schedule and possibility to download presentations.
