An "International Symposium on Materials Issues in a Hydrogen Economy" will be held in Richmond, Virginia November 12-15, 2007. The symposium will deal with fundamental science and technology issues related to the production and storage of hydrogen, its use in fuel cells, and safety issues. A central focus of this symposium will be on gaining an understanding of the interaction of hydrogen with materials. The objective of the symposium is to bring together researchers from the physics, chemistry, materials research, and engineering communities to share ideas and results, to delineate outstanding problems, and to guide future research directions. The symposium will also feature speakers addressing the issues of safety, education, and economics. There will be no parallel sessions so that the participants can take part in the discussions of all issues central to the hydrogen economy. The topics will include: Hydrogen production and delivery - nuclear, thermo-chemical, photo-electrochemical, photo-biological, and biomass; Storage - liquid, compressed gas, and solid state materials to include complex light metal and other hydrides, zeolites, clathrates, metal-organic framework compounds, carbon and boron-nitride based nanostructures; Fuel cell components such as polymer electrolytes and hydrocarbon membranes. Cross-cutting fields to be emphasized will include catalysis, nanostructures, education, safety, and economics.%%% Unlike most recent conferences held in this filed throughout the world, this particular symposium will address specific fundamental science and technology issues relevant to advancing a national hydrogen economy. With participants from academia, government laboratories and industry, the symposium will foster an interacting environment where new ideas can be brought into focus and discussed. The participation of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and minorities will be emphasized. The papers presented at the symposium will be published for wide dissemination. A broader impact of this symposium will include identifying important scientific and technological problems and bottlenecks in all sectors related to the hydrogen economy, fostering collaboration between multidisciplinary scientists, and exposing graduate students to world leaders in this field thus enhancing their educational opportunities.

“氢经济中的材料问题国际研讨会”将于2007年11月12日至15日在弗吉尼亚州里士满举行。研讨会将讨论与氢的生产和储存、氢在燃料电池中的使用以及安全问题有关的基本科学和技术问题。本次研讨会的中心焦点将是了解氢与材料的相互作用。研讨会的目的是汇集来自物理，化学，材料研究和工程界的研究人员，分享想法和成果，描述突出的问题，并指导未来的研究方向。研讨会还将邀请演讲者讨论安全、教育和经济问题。将不举行平行会议，以便与会者能够参加对氢经济至关重要的所有问题的讨论。主题将包括：氢的生产和输送-核能、热化学、光电化学、光生物和生物质;储存-液体、压缩气体和固态材料，包括复杂的轻金属和其他金属、沸石、笼形物、金属有机框架化合物、碳和氮化硼基纳米结构;燃料电池组件，如聚合物电解质和烃膜。重点交叉领域包括催化、纳米结构、教育、安全和经济。与最近在世界各地举行的这一领域的会议不同，这次特别的研讨会将讨论与推进国家氢经济有关的具体基本科学和技术问题。来自学术界、政府实验室和工业界的参与者将促进一个互动的环境，使新的想法成为焦点并进行讨论。将强调研究生、博士后研究员和少数民族的参与。在专题讨论会上提出的论文将予以出版，供广泛散发。这次研讨会的更广泛的影响将包括确定与氢经济有关的所有部门的重要科学和技术问题和瓶颈，促进多学科科学家之间的合作，并使研究生接触该领域的世界领导者，从而增加他们的教育机会。
