In the search for new, improved energy systems for the 21st century, the emphasis is on environmentally friendly, efficient means of energy conversion and storage. High temperature fuel cells offer energy conversion efficiencies as high as 70% and low pollutant emissions, but significant technical and cost problems remain to be overcome for power plants utilizing natural gas. There is also considerable excitement about other applications of high temperature fuel cells including transportation and portable generation. High temperature fuel cells offer considerable promise for working with the hydrocarbon fuels required for these applications. Closely allied to these applications in fuel cell technology is the use of electrochemical reactors for the industrially important electrocatalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons. In the long term solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology is foreseen as a candidate for a much more efficient electrolysis of steam and carbon dioxide. In summary, the high temperature electrochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons is an area of considerable strategic, environmental and economical importance.The purpose of the proposed NSF/DOE/ESF workshop, planned for Strasbourg, France on December 9-11, 2002, is to promote U.S./European collaborative investigations on the solid-state electrochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons. The proposed workshop, which will cover both fundamental and applied aspects, will be unique in its focus on scientific issues related to hydrocarbon anode materials. The Program will facilitate the exchange of ideas, educate the participant's groups regarding state-of-the-art worldwide activities, promote educational and research opportunities abroad for young scientists, and develop common programs of activity.

在寻找 21 世纪新的、改进的能源系统时，重点是环境友好、高效的能源转换和存储方式。高温燃料电池的能量转换效率高达 70%，污染物排放量低，但利用天然气的发电厂仍需克服重大的技术和成本问题。 高温燃料电池的其他应用也令人兴奋，包括运输和便携式发电。高温燃料电池为这些应用所需的碳氢燃料提供了广阔的前景。与燃料电池技术中的这些应用密切相关的是使用电化学反应器对工业上重要的碳氢化合物进行电催化氧化。从长远来看，固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC）技术预计将成为更有效地电解蒸汽和二氧化碳的候选技术。 总之，碳氢化合物的高温电化学氧化是一个具有重大战略、环境和经济重要性的领域。计划于 2002 年 12 月 9 日至 11 日在法国斯特拉斯堡举行的 NSF/DOE/ESF 研讨会的目的是促进美国/欧洲对碳氢化合物固态电化学氧化的合作研究。 拟议的研讨会将涵盖基础和应用两个方面，其独特之处在于其重点关注与碳氢化合物阳极材料相关的科学问题。 该计划将促进思想交流，教育参与者团体了解最先进的全球活动，促进年轻科学家在国外的教育和研究机会，并制定共同的活动计划。
