Title: Sustainable Materials & Methods for Next-Generation Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage

Abstract:

The urgent global demand for sustainable energy technologies has motivated the development of novel materials for efficient energy conversion and storage systems. This presentation will focus on the design, synthesis, and application of environmentally friendly materials for electrochemical devices, particularly electrochromic supercapacitors, which integrate energy storage with smart functional features. Strategies for green synthesis, including microwave-assisted and low-energy fabrication methods, will be discussed alongside material characterization, device performance, and scalability considerations. The presentation will also highlight recent advances in incorporating biowaste-derived carbon, bimetallic metal phosphate, and MXene to enhance device efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. These insights aim to provide a pathway for sustainable materials development in energy storage, and multifunctional environmental technologies.
