DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. Dr. Aliaksandr Bandarenka\, TU Munich\, German
 y\, Dr. Kathleen Schwarz\, NIST Gaithersburg\, USA\, Junior Prof. Dr. Jun 
 Huang\, FZ Jülich\, Germany\n\n\n\n\n\nTechnological breakthroughs in the
  energy transition hinge on finding earth‐abundant materials that can c
 onvert between electricity and chemical bond energy at a faster rate for a
  prolonged lifetime. This mission can only be accomplished with a fundamen
 tal understanding of the solid/liquid interfaces\, also known as the elect
 rical double layer (EDL)\, at which most important conversion processes oc
 cur. However\, we are struggling with precise measurement and high‐fide
 lity modeling of basic thermodynamic quantities\, notably the capacitance\
 , entropy and surface stress\, of EDL. It is thus imperative to bring toge
 ther scientists with a wide range of expertise in experiments (single‐cr
 ystal preparation and characterization\, electrochemical impedance\, micro
 calorimetry\, etc) and theory (continuum theory\, molecular dynamics simul
 ation\, density functional theory\, machine learning potentials) to discus
 s these specific topics in a level of depth greater than that in regular 
 scientific meetings and conferences.\nThe main topics to be discussed inc
 lude\,\n(1) Development of a general thermodynamic framework for the EDL a
 t solid/liquid interfaces\, with surface stress properly treated and its e
 xperimental validation.\n(2) Major sources of errors in existing electroch
 emical\, mechanical\, and thermal measurements of capacitance\, entropy an
 d surface stress of the EDL.\n(3) Origins of ultrahigh capacitance values 
 and ultralow Parsons‐Zobel slopes reported on the EDL at several transit
 ion metals.\n(4) Modelling and computation of above thermodynamic quantiti
 es of the EDL.\n(5) Key factors of the formation entropy of the EDL and th
 e relationship between the formation entropy of the EDL and the electrocat
 alytic activity.\n\nThe conference language will be English. The Wilhelm a
 nd Else Heraeus-Foundation bears the cost of full-board accommodation for 
 all participants.\n\n\n\n\nhttps://indico.we-heraeus-stiftung.de/event/35/
