To date, carbon materials play a major role in a large number of highly specialized applications -as structural and functional materials- related with current industrial challenges. The underlying reasons for this are their flexible coordination chemistry that allows almost infinite possibilities of 3D structures, and their ability to react with other heteroatoms to incorporate functional groups that determine the self-organization, chemical stability and reactivity.
As in preceding meetings, the conference aims at bringing together the scientists, engineers and technologists and intends to provide a forum for discussion on fundamental and technological scientific aspects of carbon applications related to energy storage and environment protection. This conference is expected to stimulate fruitful discussion, new ideas and collaborations between specialists from various domains.
