Seminar on Solutions for Green Technology (Illinois)

Join Anton Paar's new seminar series on solutions for green technology in cooperation with experts from Surface Measurement Systems! These seminars are designed to highlight new ideas and solutions for studying porous materials used for alternative energy and related environmental applications. We will specifically discuss methods used to characterize the porosity of materials using traditional techniques, hydrogen storage and carbon sequestration, direct air capture and purification, as well as research applications for novel batteries.

Key takeaways:

Attendees will learn effective techniques for characterization of porous and related materials, as well as the high-pressure do’s and don’ts for H2, CO2, other gases.

Who should attend:

These seminars are designed for anyone working with green materials. Battery R&D scientist, carbon and zeolite material scientists, and all persons working with H2 storage, H2 fuel cells, MOFs and COFs will benefit.

Workshop format:

The workshop will be delivered live by our scientists and application specialists. Lunches and coffee breaks will be provided by Anton Paar USA.
