Non-Technical SummaryThe Gordon Research Conference on “Nanomaterials for Applications in Energy Technology” will be held from February 26 – March 3, 2023, in Ventura, CA. This GRC will showcase advances and challenges in the development, modeling, characterization, and commercialization of nanoscale materials for energy conversion and storage, bringing together a diverse array of scientists in this field, including senior scientists, early career scientists, and postdocs/students. Understanding and controlling the nanoscale structure and properties of materials is increasingly important for enabling maximal performance in energy devices. This meeting will take an in-depth look at energy and fuel generation (photovoltaics, catalysis, solar fuels) and energy storage and conversion (batteries and supercapacitors), with specific focus on advanced functionalities enabled by control over the nanoscale structure and properties of materials. The meeting will foster interactions among scientists from different energy disciplines and at different stages in their careers, with a focus on diversifying participation from underrepresented groups in STEM. With support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program within the Division of Materials Research, registration fee support will be provided to early-career participants, including students, postdoctoral associates, and junior faculty/researchers.Technical SummaryThe specific goals of the proposed conference are to (1) increase domestic graduate student and postdoc participation, especially those from underrepresented groups in STEM; (2) place emphasis on the latest understanding of novel energy materials; and (3) foster intellectually stimulating discussion and ideas amongst participants of all career stages and backgrounds. The field of nanomaterials for applications in energy technology is an area of national priority, and this conference will provide opportunities to discuss various topics including the interaction of materials with light, synthesis of nanoscale materials for energy, materials chemistry for energy storage, and (photo)catalysis. In addition to application-specific sessions, cross-cutting sessions will include modeling, data analytics, and machine learning for energy materials. With support from the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program within the Division of Materials Research, the GRC will gather leading experts in the major and emerging areas in nanomaterials and energy materials research. The associated Gordon Research Seminar will provide a forum for graduate students, postdocs and other early career scientists to engage in meaningful research discussion and networking.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

关于“纳米材料在能源技术中的应用”的戈登研究会议将于2023年2月26日至3月3日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行。该GRC将展示用于能量转换和存储的纳米材料的开发，建模，表征和商业化方面的进步和挑战，汇集了该领域的各种科学家，包括资深科学家，早期职业科学家和博士后/学生。理解和控制材料的纳米结构和性质对于实现能源器件的最大性能越来越重要。本次会议将深入探讨能源和燃料发电（光伏、催化、太阳能燃料）以及能源存储和转换（电池和超级电容器），并特别关注通过控制纳米级结构和材料性能实现的先进功能。会议将促进来自不同能源学科和处于职业生涯不同阶段的科学家之间的互动，重点是使STEM中代表性不足的群体的参与多样化。在材料研究部固态和材料化学项目的支持下，将为早期职业参与者提供注册费支持，包括学生，博士后助理和初级教师/研究人员。会议的具体目标是：(1)增加国内研究生和博士后的参与，特别是那些在STEM领域未被充分代表的群体；(2)重视对新型能源材料的最新认识；(3)在所有职业阶段和背景的参与者之间培养激发智力的讨论和想法。纳米材料在能源技术中的应用是国家重点关注的领域，本次会议将提供讨论各种主题的机会，包括材料与光的相互作用、纳米级能源材料的合成、用于储能的材料化学和（光）催化。除了特定应用的会议外，跨领域会议还将包括能源材料的建模、数据分析和机器学习。在材料研究部固态和材料化学项目的支持下，GRC将聚集纳米材料和能源材料研究的主要和新兴领域的领先专家。相关的戈登研究研讨会将为研究生，博士后和其他早期职业科学家提供一个论坛，以参与有意义的研究讨论和网络。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
