The International School of Electrocatalysis 2026 (ISECAT 2026) aims to provide advanced training and interdisciplinary exchange on the fundamental principles, experimental techniques, and emerging technologies in electrocatalysis for sustainable energy conversion. The school will bring together a board of experts to explore key electrochemical processes, including water electrolysis, fuel cells, and electrochemical reduction reactions, across different technological platforms (AEM and PEM), while also introducing state-of-the-art characterization methods such as synchrotron-based tools.
Through lectures and discussions, ISECAT 2026 will foster a deeper understanding of catalytic materials, reaction mechanisms, and system design relevant to the development of efficient and scalable electrochemical energy technologies.
