• Session 1: Batteries and Supercapacitors
• Session 2: Light Emitting Materials and Devices
• Session 3: Thermoelectric Materials
• Session 4: Solar Cells and Photodetectors
• Session 5: Catalytic Materials and Water Splitting
• Session 6: Sensing and Environmental Monitoring Systems

Reporters are invited to register for the meeting at no cost by contacting the AIP media team at [email protected]. We can also help with setting up interviews and obtaining images, sound clips, or background information and provide access to researchers who are presenting at the conference.
