THAILAND-JAPAN BILATERAL SYMPOSIUM: ADVANCING SYNCHROTRON SCIENCE THROUGH EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY SYNERGY
Scope
Theoretical and computational chemistry are rapidly advancing, while experimental methods remain central. In addition to traditional experimental methods, quantum beam sciences, including synchrotron science, are becoming essential tools for chemistry, material sciences, and engineering. During this one-and-a-half-day symposium, distinguished speakers will highlight the excellent collaborative experiences between theoretical/computational and experimental chemists, as well as synchrotron scientists from Thailand and Japan. They will also discuss ways to enhance future collaborations, particularly in contributing to a sustainable society. Additionally, we will offer a mini-session for early-career chemists and students from Thailand, Japan, and other Asian countries.
Topics in this session include but are not limited to:
- New theoretical and computational methods for analysis and design
- Homogeneous catalysis for sustainability
- Heterogeneous catalysis for sustainability
- Quantum beam and synchrotron sciences for material sciences
- Rational design and development of new reactions and smart materials
CATALYTIC SYSTEMS FOR CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES
Scope
Catalysis has played an important role in covering the broad spectrum ranging from energy to environmental applications. This session welcomes research based on the development of various types of contemporary catalytic systems, including heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, and electrocatalysis. In addition, this session aims to advance the future application of new catalytic systems to a sustainable circular economy.
Topics in this session include but are not limited to:
- New design of advanced catalytic materials, including heterogeneous catalysts, homogeneous catalysts, photocatalysis, and electrocatalysts
- Catalytic materials and processes for green-house gas and waste utilization
- Catalytic conversion of biomass and biomass-derived compounds to advanced materials and chemicals
- Catalytic mechanism of future catalytic systems
- Catalytic processes for sustainability
