MELVILLE, N.Y., August 2, 2021 — Twelve distinguished speakers will be covering critical topics impacting energy storage and conversion at the upcoming AIP Publishing Horizons Virtual Conference on Aug. 4-6.
The three-day event is organized by the journal Applied Physics Reviews and brings together leaders in the field of energy science to present their latest research in six sessions:
- 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 media@aip.org. 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.
