Electrocatalysis is the cornerstone of technologies converting electrical power collected from intermittent sources into basic chemicals and fuels or vice-versa. In this regard, electrocatalytic reactions, such as the oxidation and reduction of water, the hydrogen oxidation or the carbon dioxide and oxygen reduction are of critical importance for the implementation of renewable sources in the energy mix of tomorrow.
Following the success of the EcatalytiX conference held in April 2024 in Strasbourg, France, EcatalytiX II will take place from April 8th to April 10th 2026, in Strasbourg. Its core objective is to take a look at the current and future techniques based on X-rays, visible, infrared or electron beams used to observe electrocatalytic reactions under conditions as close as possible to operation. Gathering scientists from all over Europe, the meeting wishes to shape directions to answer some of the following questions:
How theoretical and computational work can be combined with operando approaches to provide new insights on electrocatalysts’ and interfaces properties in operation?
What are the synergies and complementarities between lab-based operando approaches (e.g., FTIR, Raman, XPS) and their synchrotron counterparts?
What have been the most recent progresses in the field in terms of system design, new experimental and theoretical approaches?
This conference will be the ideal place to meet spectroscopists, microscopists, theoreticians, and electrochemists alike, discovering state-of-the-art operando approaches and how the future of the field is shaping up. Please note that the number of participants is limited to 100 and that the first come, first served principle will apply.
We look forward to seeing you in Strasbourg to contribute to this ambitious meeting.
